2010 - Will the heart let me train?
July 17

39 x 15 @ 100 cadence spin (level 2). Dropped the resistance setting down from 3 to 2 (hard to medium) to let the legs spin a little easier and not work as hard. Felt nice and easy.
Easy ladder:
1 x 500, 400, 300, 200, 100
Actually felt okay in the pool, not too tired. But legs are definitely cooked from the last two weeks!

Medium-long.
Out and back accross I-95 towards Laurel. Tried to go nice and easy, but was still totally blown by about the 9 mile mark. Stopped at 11, walked for a bit, ran another 1/2 mile or so, walked for a bit, ran the rest home. Total distance was 13, but only ran 12 of that.
I'm fucking tired .......

Long ride pace out and back along Rt. 175 to Rt. 3. Tried to spin easy, but it was a slight headwind on the way back so had to work harder.
Recovery Brick
Two of the shorter loops around the hood. Felt pretty good actually.

Going over to the shop after work to buy Mir a trainer so we can set up her hybrid next to my trainer/bike and we can ride together watching the Tour in the evenings and so she can get back excercising again.
May also order her an OCR Composite Women's model while I'm at it .......... ;)

39 x 16 @ 100 cadence on the trainer. Nice easy spin to loosen the legs up. Felt okay.

Princeton Sports ride. Basically the Columbia Tri course. I started with C.J. and rode with him for a while and then started to pick off people one at a time (there were a good 150 or so people on the loop today, many getting ready for Iron Girl in a few weeks). No one was strong enough to work very long and while they did okay on the flats and downhills, I was flying by them without working very hard on the uphills. Encouraging ride for me to be that far above everyone in riding fitness even though I feel pretty behind in the big scheme. Thank God for base mileage through the years I guess! ;)
Lactic Threshold
2.1 mile warm up easy pace.
4 mile tempo (27:12 - 6:48 pace).
2.1 mile cool down.
Felt kind of nyah on the run. But was able to keep the HR where it should be. The mental part is just not as strong right now. HR was 174 average for the tempo portion.
