1' Z4/30" Z5 x 5, 3x. Harder than it sounds. Started cursing my coach's name ~2' into the first interval. Still... maybe next time I'll do 4 of those suckers. Ouch.

Did 20 of them today myself. I also do them from a slow roll... I can't even trackstand >_<
Not sure what they do, coach told me to do it so I did it. 5 sets of 4x 10 sec sprints with 50s rest in between.

Rode with 2 cat 2 team mates last night and didn't die, so that's a win.

I also do them from a slight rolling start, just enough to keep me balanced.
And I usually do about 20 of them with 1-3 min. rest in between, depending on the workout.

Yesterday 4/5 crit, 15h/60 and 3/4 crit 25th/66. Forgot to bring food to eat before 3/4 and out of water last 4 laps. This one felt harder since they start 4/5 then 3/4 compared to driveway starts 3/4 then 4/5

Yesterday 3.5 hours with 3x4x2 @ 114% (pain!), then 3.5 @125%, and 8@110% on the commute hills.
Today sat in the fast ride and tried to sprint but moved up the right as the train came up the left, dammit. Rode to work. 3.5 hours again.
400 TSS and I'm ready for a couple days easy!

@scheibo had an excellent merckx time.
.I rolled up the hill and raced the Beat the Clock TT on Saturday morning on exactly 2 hours of sleep. Time was a good minute slower than when I raced it in April. FML.
The sleep deprivation was weird. It didn't hurt to race, I just couldn't turn the cranks like I wanted. Even at the end of the race I felt sleepy and all day I had full-body muscle weakness. Also I'm back to being fat as ****. Cry.

Yesterday I napped instead of riding which was kind of weird but I think I feel better for it. Today I ride slowly.

Kid #1 : ~6Mo
I did show up to the Wednesday Hammerfest and smashed the sprint by 15 bike lengths, then got dropped 15 miles later when the pace got really high.
2-3 rides a week is enough to keep my high end, but obviously my endurance is lacking.
