Dirty Mitten Racing League Stage 3
After a longer effort yesterday with some quality, I didn't really want to have to get after it this morning. It was about a 60' crit race, so I knew that the effort would not be consistent, which I was fine with and I tried to be conservative, not lead, and just cover moves as necessary. It worked mostly well, until I missed the jump and went in 8th, off first by 3-4 seconds. 63' @ 258 watts @ 161 BPM.
20' up/40' down.
Boys were challenging, then Sawyer ended up getting sick around bedtime and was sick several times in the night. We have actually been very fortunate how little we have had this happen. Charlie and Megan are fine and I am.

4 x 8' Sweet Spot Bursts
Interesting workout in which you get out of the saddle hard for about 5 seconds every two minutes and settle back into the intervals. It is supposed to help you practice covering gaps in racing and then settling back into your race effort. Harder than I thought, but not terribly hard.

4 x 10' Criss Cross Tempo/Sweet Spot
Another workout I haven't really done. 4 (4' tempo, 1' sweet spot x 2). Nice way to get in a session and some time.
The boys didn't have school today due to weather, so it was an interesting week when we were all home.

Got up to get on the trainer at 5:55AM on my birthday. Turned 40 today, which makes me officially a masters runner and probably time to use that as a new starting point for running to bring thing into perspective.
I had a solid day and Megan and I got to go to dinner ourselves, which was great. She got me Jason Isbell tickets, which I actually kind of guessed. I have been wanting to go see him for about 5 or 6 years since I started listening to him.

DIRTy Mitten Racing League Omnium Races
This was a lot of fun, though somewhat chatoic logistically, changing bikes and the like. After the first two efforts I was really glad the third and fourth events were not eyeballs out. I was pretty smoked after the first two events.
23' up, 13:38 @ 295W (163 BPM) for the handicap race, which was pretty fun, though would have been better if you could actually see what other riders were on. 14:22 @ 300 W (171 BPM) for the hill climb. I was dying. I figured I would not survive if we continued the effort. The team pursuit thankfully was much easier as we worked to bring some of the slower riders across the line as fast as possible, so a decent effort but not 100%. 14:55 @ 265W (161). We then did a team time trial down Alpe d' Zwift, which was just super funny. Flying downhill, then smash watts for a few seconds, steady, then smash watts. 30' cool down.
