I went out and did The Beast on Candella's today. 2 sets of 3x2' 130% w/2' rest, then 3x1' max w/1 minute rest, then 6x30" max 5' rest between sets. This was always an ass-kicker, simply because it is. This year, I actually went up in power as the 2' went on, which is amazing, at least for me. I attribute it to the 4x2' w/1' rest x 4 I did throughout the winter, on the %*($%#@#% trainer. Those let me think 2 whole minutes between, was like a vacation... Of course, there were numerous cyclists out, but I didn't give them 6 feet, because I still don't want to get flattened. That stretch has gone from the road to nowhere, to the Monaco Grand Prix.
