  • This is what I saw leaving my subdivision this morning on my 51 miler finally getting that 2.5 to 3 hr ride in on a Saturday.

  • Big day on the slopes...2 hours of downhill time = 120 TSS. Here's a sample video clip...showing off under the lift getting first tracks down:

  • got in 2.5 hrs on the drainer yesterday, good for 150 TSS 3x 12 in the "sweet spot"
    looking forward to weeks of gorilla fighting and some real work now that I don't have any travel on the calendar until Mallorca camp.. gotta get strong, lean & more duration!
  • @Al Truscott I could watch those ski clips all day long, great stuff! #slopeenvy
  • fter a few weeks easing back in from the flu, felt good on the bike this week and got all of the sessions done as prescribed.

  • Pretty good training week.
    Tues. MS 2X15' @ .98's. These felt really hard today.
    Thurs. MS 2X7X1'(45") All between 275w and 300w.
    Sat. MS 3X12' Sweetspot @ .89, .90, .89 + some Zn-2ish time for 125' total.
  • Got back from a week of skiing with the family in CO late Friday night. Saturday was an "admin" day for me...getting everyone unpacked, laundry, grocery store and getting back onto Eastern time.
     I was worried about my ride today after not being on the bike for so long and it went better than expected.  The run, well, that wasn't pretty.  Got the ugly workout out of the way and hope that week 8 falls into place.  Two more weeks of the JOS and then I jump into the Intermediate HIM plan in preparation for Haines City.
  • Although not as cool as skiing, I got in a group ride today for another 50 miler. Although we averaged a fast speed, my IF was only at about .7 for a Z2 ride. Amazing how fit this OS has made me compared to others. Need to focus on the scheduled workouts and keep the leg up on those non-EN converts!

  • Free-riding on Zwift. Went with a two man break... 30’ of controlled (SS) climbing into a sprint finish. Fun, and a great 60’ ABP-type ride to set me up for a third try at JOS 2018.
  • I brought back a cold from my ski trip and did zero workouts Saturday. I managed a 2 hr ABP Ride this evening, which included a Zwift race, then a couple efforts at Z3. Total TSS was 150. I hope to kick this cold and have a good week 8.
  • Saw you out there tonight @Derrek Sanks great job, I was on the "Bike Radar Social" ride going the other way.  Didn't turn out to be very social.  Was having a good ODZ century ride this morning, but had power loss at the house due to storm so came back and finished it tonight.  
  • yesterday total fail, had to bring one daughter up to Williamstown Mass for a LAX prospect day at Williams college. Got an ice/ sleet/ snow storm on the way up.. had winter running gear, but it just did not happen... looking forward to making up for lost time in the back half of the OS which begins today with Week 8!
