Dirty Mitten Racing League S6
Had a decent race. Still need to be way more aggressive out of the gate because I am not able to count how many people are ahead of me. We organized a sprint at certain times to try to get a breakaway and then team time trial, but it never really worked out. It was still fun having a bunch of us yellow jerseys going to the front. Exchanged jabs with a smallish group through the middle of the race. Got a gap on the group and several second on a guy who was off the back (someone I know who isn't generally in these races) and I figured I had lost him and I would work to see if I could chip people off the back. At this point I pressed a little, but I should have pressed harder, but I was worried about the last long climb. The guy off the back latched back on and then passed me on the long climb and was gone. That's what happens when you try to race a guy who weighs 72 kilos.
Overall, a good effort. I tied or slightly beat my all-time one-hour power, which was one of the goals I had for the day (291 watts). 74' @ 284 watts @ 170 BPM. Warm up and cool down to get in 2 hours total.

| AM: 8 miles on the treadmill, averaged 9:17. HR 140.
Spent most of the day grading and getting ready to submit grades. Finally did at 1:30AM. It has been a few years since I have been up that late submitting grades, but over the last few years there is a lot of work I have graded based on completion, so I guess I looked at things more closely than I have been.
I wanted to get on the trainer in the afternoon, but I am not sure why I thought that I was going to have time. I was listening to final projects during dinner.

Trying to get some treadmill data for winter workouts. I feel faster outside at a lower HR.
Started slow and then did a minutes progression, trying to get some effort and HR readings: 5' each @ 5.8, 6.0, 6.2, 6.5; 10' each @ 6.7, 7.0, 7.2, 7.4, 7.6; 5' @ 6.5

Redid my training yet again. Toying with the idea of a marathon. I turn 40 in a month. I haven't run a marathon in almost a decade and time just doesn't make sense anymore. This will change, but I think a May marathon would be good. Plenty of time, but no so much time that it feels like I am perpetually building. I need more specific and immediately goals I think. Bike stuff is mostly in place, but running just hasn't been there. I think because I have been afraid of comitting and getting in shape is really hard. Just need to go for it I think.

Damp and chilly. Can't seem to find my tights, but I ordered another pair for the first time since I think 2011.
