2 hour trainer class today. I did everything the instructor suggested. However after the class I was talking to a Cat 2 racer who used to be on my team. We were comparing the hard times in the class and I realized that I need to HTFU and quit thinking its good enough to ride along with my buddies thinking I"m doing OK because that is what the instructor suggested for the A group. When the instructor says a 53/23-25 gear for the A group I need to use the 23 and face failure. We were also doing some 4 to 6 minute out of the saddle efforts followed by a seated overgear buildup interval where we were supposed to do the OTS @ 80 rpm and I was happy to continue at 72-74 rpm. Next time I'll HTFU and do anything to hold 78-80 rpm. There it is out there on the internetz and I have to live up to it!
