Week 1 Bike & Brick Thread
After a nice Wu I did the 2x6 with my new zones after 4min I wanted it to be over but thats good. I am putting speed into the body. Did the main set with Wu and a little zone 3 at the end for a total of 40min.

Glad to hear you had a good brick this first week.
Yesterday was my first hard Saturday bike/run workout since 5/2010. The bike workout felt ok but the run felt much harder than it should have. I did a 5 miler on Thanskgiving day at a pace faster than my Z3/Z4 goals for the brick and really couldn't hold my Z3/Z4 pace for 30 minutes. I know it will take a while to get my bike recovery back but after 5 1/2 months of just running bricks are tough!
My daughter lives in St Louis and she said you had no snow at all this weekend. We got 6 inches in Moline. Must be nice to live in the Southern Midwest. When is Redman?

Here in the Midwest the weather is changing all the time but we did get some snow on Thanksgiving here, not much 1/8th''.
It's a long way until Sept 24th and with Rich/Pat and the Team's help you will have a killer day! I've been active here since 9/2007 and definitely can tell you that Work Works. IMWI09 was my last(2nd) and I'd highly recommend it when you get to a year with enough time and focus to train for long.

I have to say this felt REALLY easy.
Ditched transition run to gain SAUs as we are having our big annual open haus tomorrow (100+ people)
If your workouts are feeling super easy I would bump the watts up a little bit. I had the sane thing happen to me this summer, didn't go as hard as I could/should have. It took a few sessions but I figured out some better zones to work from before I retested. Just my two cents.
