After three days off the bike, I rode Saturday and Sunday. Saturday was about 2:15 at endurance pace and felt pretty good. Sunday was about 2:45 with more than two hours at L3 on the hottest day so far this year, and I felt it. Took my shower, drank my smoothie, and got an hour-and-a-half dead-to-the-world nap. That got my TSB to +4.
Off the bike today, nose returns to grindstone tomorrow. Wednesday and Saturday are the big days this week, with Wednesday being at my climbing course with about five hours total and at least 45 minutes at Climbing Repeat level (~105%) in the last two hours. I'm doing the Gran Fondo Asheville course and the biggest climb starts at mile 82 in a 100-mile ride, this is the only way I can prepare for it. 20 hours on the bike this week.
