Tough Weekend, New TT Position

I had two fairly tough rides this weekend, with Saturday being a 3ish hour small group ride with multiple attack zones, and Sunday (yesterday) being a 2.5 hour ride with two tempo intervals and the rest of the ride at endurance tempo. My legs are tired, but I feel pretty good. I also got a new TT position set up from my coach. I have never felt this aero/strong on a TT bike! The upcoming Frozen Tundra TT should be a very interesting one!

Update

So I couldn't finish my interval workout on the trainer Tuesday, mostly I think due to eating too much for dinner. Regardless, I have a nice 3x15 LT workout planned for tonight, and am looking forward to it! I did just find out that my Shimano carbon road shoes are late though, and won't be here till the first or second week in February.

Back!

So I've been gone for a week taking care of things, and just simply riding my butt off. Figured I'd drop in here and post though, just to keep it going. I have a Time Trial in Hiram Georgia on February 16th, which kinda kicks off the season. I then have the ever-so-fun Greenville Training Series starting the weekend of the 23rd, and running through the second weekend in March. I've definitely bumped over the 2,000 miles for the winter mark, but don't have my Power Tap head unit on hand, so I can't put exactly how many miles I have. I think I'm in the neighborhood of 2,500, but I'm not positive.

Friggin Sick!

Yep, I have been hit hard with something! I think it's just sinus issues, but I had a very hard ride last night (2 2o min. lactate level intervals), and didn't sleep very good afterwards. Been drugging it up all day, but to no avail. I guess I'll just do my recovery ride tonight and try to get in bed earlier.

The season is coming!

Yes, it's still a little over a month until the Frozen Tundra Time Trial in Hiram, but I really looking forward to it. It's gonna be interesting to see how all this training is turning out.

I have some shiny new Shimano shoes coming later this week! Thank you Santa Claus! He also got me a new Louis Garneau Rocket TT Helmet!

Tired eh?

Had a fairly interesting ride on the trainer this evening. Not monumental, but hard. I think maybe I'm still tired from the WBL Tuesday and my hard trainer workout Wednesday.

Update, and some pictures!

So the trainer ride last night was particularly interesting. It's not that it was more painful, but I was definitely still a bit worn out from the WBL ride the day before. Regardless, I happened upon some race pictures today and decided to throw them on here for your viewing pleasure. I weighed 20 more pounds in these pics, but oh well. These two are from the Edgar Soto Memorial Stage Race in Nashville I went to last year.

WBL

Went to the WBL yesterday for the annual New Years Day ride. I guess on a personal level its a ride to show me where I stand at the midpoint of my winter training. I felt pretty good taking 3rd overall in the attack, especially since last year I crashed out and embarrassed myself!
