Sprints

I rode outside and did sprints today. There was a kicking tailwind on the way out and it’s always fun to sprint with a tailwind!

LT with Cadence Change-up

I felt better today once I started riding than I did yesterday. It helps that I rode during lunch–I always seem to have more energy

Wimpy 2×15’s

By the time I got on the bike today I was already dragging so I wasn’t planning on doing anything hard. For the first few

TopoFusion Power

I’m not the only one who thinks power and GPS data would make a great combo. Scott Morris, one of the creators of TopoFusion, thinks

Spring Is in the Air

This was the first morning of the year I could hear birds singing outside. It was like they knew spring was in the air…and they

Near Record-Breaking Outdoor Ride

It was cold and foggy this morning so I thought I’d be relegated to the rollers again. So I went to Yoga first thing and

1×30

Just an hour long rollers ride with a 1×30 minute LT interval. Nothing special.

Two Good Workouts in a Row

Another good workout today. I did 2x20s. I wasn’t sure I’d have it in my legs today but I guess yesterday’s workouts blew them out

Mixing it Up

Did a 30-minute LT and then some L6 efforts. Power was pretty good for as little as I’ve been training. This was my best 4x30sec

The Snow Keeps Coming

We’re waking up to snow almost daily now and the piles on the sides of our driveway are getting mighty high! I thought it would

Pyro Sand Game

This is a simple, low graphics online game called Falling Sand. It is highly addictive in a hypnotic sort of way. Rather than try to

Tech-Support Cutting into Training

After a good workout on Monday, the rest of the work-week lacked any quality workouts. Instead I was in front of a computer most of
