I have a 25 mile loop that has probably 3 feet of climbing
|
lol i averaged like 12mph on my commute this morning. i blame tired legs and a heavy backpack.
|
Ooof. I didn't feel too bad after that cross practice yesterday, but all those hill climbs, on and off the bike, seem to have caught up to me today. I almost never experience DOMS from cycling training, but I feel like I can barely turn my legs over today. Means it was a good workout!

something like 5.5 hours of unstructured solo jamming today. was so cracked at the end that i got lost riding home through my neighborhood. starve seems to be conspiring against me by failing to record part of the ride whenever i do a century or almost a century.
just shy of 22 hours for the week. maybe my biggest week ever. never thought i'd say this but i'm sick of eating. edit: definitely not my biggest week ever. did 30+ weeks while in tucson and san diego a few years ago. but, probably my biggest wheel while working or in school duuuude i was driving home from rhode island last night and that lightning was crazzzzzzy. glad you're safe. The lightning really was crazy. The rain did get pretty heavy eventually, but the lightning was a much bigger worry. |

The numbers say 700 tss for the last week, but my body says it thinks it was more. Track racing night underestimate the tss, but I've had that going all summer. Super tired though, took a nap yesterday and two today. Also racing that point in the season where intervals don't sound like fun, but racing still seems great.

Triple digit power!

I think I have two or so interval sessions until the off season, so I'll knock those out, but yeah. Ready for some free form riding.

How is it possible to do 200 tss on 20 hours? I ride 45 minutes as easy as possible and I still get somewhere around 30 TSS.
|
Off. Off off off. Off. Not riding.
|
7 hours over the weekend. No riding for me today.

That doesn't sound right. What does "as easy as possible" look like to you?

Same here. 25 is about all I can do around here. I hit 22 once when there was some wind.
|
1 HR on zwift after a weekend of eating and drinking in New Orleans.
|
vo2 hills today. ouch. can't believe there's only one more set of these on my schedule for the year. road season went by too fast.
|
Was going to do vo2 hill repeats as well today. Did one, quite slowly, and muscles were really hurtin so quit. More recovery I guess. Also, I'm this close to mentally checking out for the season. Good thing the season is this close to being over. I think I can hang on until Henleyville. I finally understand why people need an offseason!
|
Morning commute felt great. I was so tight from riding last week it was a struggle to even ride in the drops. After a few days of stretching no issues this morning....I should set a reminder on my phone to stretch, but then after a month it just becomes another reminder I blow off.
|
i rode this morning and came upon about 50 dogs and 10 or so people on horses opposing me on one of the roads I ride on daily. they were practicing their fox hunting for the upcoming season. as weird as that is, it's still not as weird as cyclocross.

pretty common in horse country. in the fall, the actual hunts are going on all over the place on weekend mornings. kind of weird to see one at 6:45 on a random tuesday morning in august though. I don't think that they actually hunt a fox though, the dogs just sniff one out and they chase it through the fields/woods while riding on horses and wearing formal jackets and derby caps.

Fox hunting is the UK political hot potato equivalent of gun control here in the US.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fox_hunting#Controversy Anyway, I set out to do 4x5 vo2max knowing it was going to be a stretch. It's not *that* hot but my god it felt outrageously hot. I managed to get 20 minutes of sloppy Z5 in. NY state champ crit this weekend, I would prefer to go into it riding high and crushing workouts, but I don't think that's in the cards. |
2x20 @ 250w inside, since it's hot and humid outdoors. Most uncomfortable part was my damn saddle, i have an antares and just can't get comfortable with it, I also tried the toupe recently and even though my sit bone measurement indicate 142 wide saddles, I'm thinking of going more narrow with the arione
|
VO2max set this morning. Tire went soft about 2/3 of the way through. I suspected goat heads, but turned out to be my rim tape shifted and exposed a nipple hole.
|
I'm supposed to do 3.5-4hrs with 6x5 just above threshold, but it's like really really hot out and there's an ozone advisory. So maybe not such a good idea.

My sitbones measure way wider than the Arione (like..15mm?), but that saddle is so comfortable for me. As soon as I got my TT bike I put one an Arione on it
