Bailed out of Spencer this morning in the middle of the second interval. I didn’t eat much on sunday, had a few beers sunday night. Felt sluggish this morning but jumped on the bike anyway without breakfast (I think this was the final straw). Lesson learned!
Mills yesterday, and Pettit this morning. Both went ok, maybe I’ve finally beat the flu I had for almost two weeks.
Yup, this offseason I’ve been trying to work in a wider range of cadences.
Looks like Disaster Day came early to the Stousignant house! Sorry bro!!
Sweet result buddy!
37mins hill running at lunch only 6km +104m but felt tougher than it should. Maybe still recovering.
2700m Swim in the evening also felt tough.
Main set 13x 100m @1:30-1:38 off 1:50. Little bit of cramp but not enough to stop me. Had a 30s break at halfway. Played about with a swinging recovery too, didn’t seem to have much effect.
That’s all right. Could have been wrost. No concussion, no broken teeth/nose…my kids (5 and 7) were close to the ladder too. Recovey is going well and casts will be removed on the 31st. This is awesome!
Being healthy and in good shape really helps to recover from these things.
Keep calm and TR!
#massiveFail - lessons learned:
- too much fatigue from Sunday group ride
- biz travel last week killed consistency and week 6 SSB-1 recovery week with only Monday and Sunday rides
- move along to SSB-2 mid volume at same ftp
- retest try next week
Mentally I totally 110% needed to ignore recovery week and go out and enjoy my fitness on Sunday:
Bad timing, what can I say 
School of hard knocks. Predictable results after a 215 TSS / 0.95 IF / #anaerobicPlayground ride 
Kosciuszko +4.
Av int pwr 97%…so Kosciuszko -3%.
I almost called it after the 6th interval, but then I remembered the super unofficial, non-sanctioned, semi-inappropriate, and definitely unauthorized match burning contest with @trpnhntr I just created to keep me motivated to finish the job! 
Ain’t no Threshold Warrior gonna beat a VO2max Master! 
I did Spencer yesterday.
Managed the first interval at 100%, then dropped the remaining 4 to 95%. They sucked, or maybe i just suck at Vo2 max work. 10/10 did not enjoy
Come at me! By the time I finish rolling road race I’ll be…well, never good, but acceptable at those things again
This morning I did Mokelumne fasted before work
Last night I did South Twin +6 - got through the first five intervals and then broke on the sixth. Rallied for the 7th one (after the slightly longer recovery period) and then had to dial things down for intervals 8 and 9. Disappointed to not finish successfully but really a hard workout for me at the end of a long day
