6 PM
Biking (road) 2:00:00 [3] 40.0 km (3:00 / km)
warm up:
Started by taking Carbon's bike for a ride to test all the gears after a tune up. Soon, my body seemed to be getting used to her saddle being about 2 inches higher than mine. When I hopped back on my bike, I was certain someone must have lowered my seat. It took me quite a while to feel normal on my bike again.
Met up with about 6 others from spin class for an outdoor training session near Springbank. Did an easy ride out to the spot where we would train, on Range Road 33, north of Airport Road.
Coach Jack marked out two 500 metre sections, one on slight uphill and the other on the opposite shoulder with a slight downhill. In both cases, the plan was to push a big gear, hard, and keep fighting to accelerate the whole time, with resistance like pushing on a leg press.
5x:
500 m up slight uphill in big gear, pushing hard, AnP, about 45 seconds up (took me about 50-58sec)
3:15 recovery (pushing hard enough that you need all of this rest)
500 m down slight downhill in big gear, coming in rolling, and then attacking to keep accelerating the whole time, AnP. Usually took me about 30 seconds.
3:15 recovery
Had my fastest climb on rep #2, then was battling to hang on to the end for all of the others, but managed.
Soft pedal back to the parking lot. Done about 15 minutes early.
Pretty awesome to be able to train with killer mountain views on the horizon past scenic prairie fields.
