Indoor Training Update...

After three hard indoor training sessions this week, my legs still feel pretty good.  Last night I went to my Brother Nick's and road in the barn.  I didn't think after two hard rides the prior two nights that I would have much left in the tank, but I still managed to ride strong.

Nick and I did a sufferfest video - Revolver that consists of 15 + 1 - 1 minute intervals with 1 minute rest.  The 1 to 1 ratio kept my Heart Rate in the 150 range, so at about interval 12 I decided to stand for a whole interval.  Then I challenged Nick to do the same, which he courageously did.  We then followed that with two more standing intervals for the last 2 regular intervals, making the nights efforts worth while.  Then Sufferfest added an extra interval at the end that I sprinted as hard as I could until I blew up.  Nice ride!

After the ride, Nick kicked up this new Polk speaker, and we listened to the best sound system I have ever heard while having a couple of cold ones and a cheese-less pizza. NICE!

Now tomorrow with the temps in the high 40's we will be outside, with Sunday indoor while watching the Giants.  Awesome!

Have to keep the hard work up as long as I can, as I do not want a repeat of last spring...Need to also keep working on increasing my work avg cadence.  This will hopefully translate into higher cadences on the hills...Just keep'em turn'n!

Week 1 down...11 more to go...
