AM: ~2.5 hours on the trainer.
Dirty Mitten Racing League Finale
I wasn't sure how my legs would feel after the series of shorter, intense races yesterday, but they were mostly pretty good. I wanted to put out between 285-290 watts for approximately an hour. Normalized power was there, but regular power was not. Covered some gaps when I needed to and tried to press here and there to create my own gaps. Didn't get any, but that was fine. Missed a late break and battled with a few other folks trying to break into the top 10 of the C/D group, but got passed at the line, which ticked me off a bit, but oh well.
59:13 @ 278 Watts @ 165 BPM
This concludes the second tour. I am unsure if I will do the February tour. I will likely skip it for my own stuff and see about the one in March, but maybe bandit a few races or something. I have enjoyed these, but it makes it hard to get longer stuff in. I just don't feel like doing much over an hour after the race to make up total volume/time.
AM2: gym session. Lifted a good deal heavier than I have been for both the leg press and Smith machine. A woman about 70 lbs lighter than me was definitely squatting more. She wouldn't beat me in a bike race though.
