Sweet Spot OTS Ride
I switched mornings with Megan and that was just fine with me as I think it is going to rain all day tomorrow, so I figured I would stick with my ride as planned. It was coolish, but warming up fast. I started at Bald Mountain South and scouting the traffic. A few hikers and bikers, but not bad. I did three laps at sweet spot effort. 46' @ 232 watts @ 162 BPM. I actually passed a group of guys I know, which was kind of fun to be on a fat bike and just blowing by people. I made my way to Orion Oaks to hit the sledding hill and some other climbs to work on the steep, punchy stuff before going into three laps there. It was predictably busy, so I made sure to slow down when necessary, particularly around small kids (I already ticked off one old solo guy at Bald Mountain). 51' @ 241 watts @ 158 BPM. Normalized power on the intervals was 259 watts and 254 watts, which is right about target Iceman power.
