6:45p. 92*, Windy!

Endurance, Zone 1-2.

Supposed to be 1.5 hrs, but I ran out of daylight. A client called just when I was going to get ready to ride. Thirty minutes later, I hung up the phone. :(

For the first time in a long time, I feel like a training plan is really starting to show its value. As soon as two months ago if you had told me I would do a 19.5 mph ride averaging in the middle of Zone 2, I'd have said you're nuts. I just hope I can do it on October 7th! :)

Busy, busy with work!  Deadline today.  Bleccchh!  Ride sometime after that.

Plan:
High RPM Spin
60' at 105+ RPMS average.

60' at about 96-100 rpm. ended up being more of a recovery ride.

Bike ME
Muscular Endurance
80
WU: 15' nice smooth spinning
MS: Then shift into a the big chain ring and into a gear that allows you to spin at about 65-70 RPMs. You will spin 4x10 minutes in this gear - HR should be mid-high Z2 - recovery will be 5' easy between sets - you will probably see HR drift into Z3 - keep the cadence up - this is where you build strength.
CD: 10'

Bike ride today.  First time on it since I had the re-fit.  Also put a spacer on the cassette on my training wheel so now it doesn't jangle like a prancing Chihuahua.  Still need to get the race wheel checked out.  It has a disturbing clicking noise.  I think the spokes may need a little tightening.  If I can't get it fixed, does anyone out there want to donate a nice disc wheel?  Nah?  Didn't think so.
