Wright Peak with a tyre blowout at 1 hour 21 mins! Went off like a shotgun!
Using Powermatch for the first time and realising that my trainer had been overstating my prowess all this time ![]()

WASHINGTON +4 WOW that was hard , 5 times 7 min at 105% ( i am toast
) happy to have completed this one though.
Holy cadence sensor on the fritz batman
Also, because i talked with wifey too much, ended up being later than i wanted. So i rushed putting the trainer tire back onā¦i guess i wasnt careful enough to check the bead around the whole tire. Rode carillon through the first interval, started feeling something off when the resistance went back up. Looked back at the tire and i could see something was off, and then as i tried to get off the bikeā¦POP
By that time it was too late to remove wheel and tire AGAIN and finish the workout.
Would you guys just skip the workout, or shift the weekās work by 1 day? (next week is recovery ride week)
Yeah thatās the current revised plan. I had completed the -5 version last week, so I know I can do the first two intervals without issue. That said my heart rate was considerably higher yesterday than it was last week during the -5 variant so something was definitely off yesterday. Could be any number of things.
Permission to skip it - not given ![]()
The week before rest week is when the good feelings of speed and achievement come together! Youāve got to give this another go!
Iām in a 2nd week of SSBV1⦠Antelope for tonight after work⦠scaryā¦
Carson tonightā¦

This is my first trip thru TR, so Iām going SSB1-LV to start. Iāve been doing structured training outdoors for a couple of years, but at no time was I doing this much regular SS work. Iām just a couple weeks in - each day, I expect it to be the day Iāll be too tired to see it thru, but so far so good.
Looking to gradually work in outdoor aerobic rides to bring my weekly load up to ~8 hours / 400-500 TSS while making sure that completing the structured work gets top priority.
I was supposed to do a run today but I really just wanted to ride so I did an hour in the morning and two in the afternoon #justoneofthosedays
