This weekend was tough. VERY Early Friday morning I did Virtual Ventoux Stage 1 (4am EDT), recorded on TR using Free Ride.
I then worked all day and had a Zoom happy hour with some friends in the Pacific time zone that I haven’t seen in a long time. It was great to see them but we started at 8:30pm EDT and ended around 11pm, meaning there was no way I was going to get up at 3:30am Saturday to ride Stage 2.
I spent all weekend working on the house…my wife’s got some friends coming to visit this week, which means lots of stuff to do, including tearing apart an old couch (too heavy to move down the stairs, so we demolished it) and moving a new one in, cleaning the garage, etc. So, no ride Saturday or Sunday.
Today I decided to retest FTP using Kolie Moore's FTP test protocol. I actually started with the LSCT Warmup
and then followed up immediately with the Kolie Moore baseline.
I made it 20 minutes into the baseline test at target FTP, so I set my FTP to the result (still shy of target FTP) and we’ll see how the next block of training goes.
