AM: ~120' on the trainer.

Dirty Mitten Racing League Prologue 

I was sort of looking forward to this race and sort of not as I enjoy the racing, but want to stick to my training, but I had a lot of fun with it in November and December, so I figured I would do it in January, but probably not February but maybe March.

Three shorter racing for team drafting purposes. 

25' up/35' down.

22:56 @ 279W (291 normalized) HR 171

23:44 @ 253W (274 normalized) HR 169

13:44 @ 276W (293 normalized) HR 168

Second race had a very long neutral start and we futzed around even after that for some reason. Not great racing, but some decent efforts. HR was peaking into the mid- to upper-180s suggesting my cold is still in my system or I am out of shape or both. This will get us rolling. 

Went to the gym after.

Lunch: Weights and strength training 

3 x 12 squats on the Smith machine (added 10# to the first set and then 10# more for the second and third)

3 x 12 @ 45# lat pulldowns

5' on the Stairmaster waiting for the leg press machine

3 x 12 leg press machine (I added weight, but I don't recall what they were)

Captain's chair

Weight: 187.30
