Same. This year I had three peaks in the mid-90s: March 15 (Land Park/Bariani); June 13 (Nevada City); and September 3 (District Crit). I will probably follow a similar plan this year.

3x20 @ 85% (trainerroad workout tray mountain). Sorta following the sweet spot base program, but instead of the 3x12 at 85% I did the longer one. That's self coaching!

Those six extra minutes will make all the difference in the spring, he said semi-jokingly, semi-seriously.

I went ~70W harder than I was supposed to. Expecting a slap on the nose and a half serving of biker kibble for dinner.

Something that'll probably never happen again...today's workout was 2x10' threshold plus intervals. Both came in at 104%; same watts for both and NP=AP for both. The terrain was half flat and half rolling for both. I don't know how that worked out, but it did!

4:30 mostly with the club today. Cold start, 36 degrees. The strength work in the gym has really been paying off. It was almost like a no chain day from this perspective, plenty of power. I ran out of gas at the 4:00 mark though and eased it on home.

Spectrum group ride today. Won a sprint, then got dropped (?!) on the rolling section just after that.

I think it was a combo of brake rub and lack of fitness.

At least I know I'm not peaking yet!

River Ride today.

Was ok. Engine isn't all there right now and I gassed out before both sprints in small moves where'd I'd be able to push through a few months ago. It's November though.

edit: it was brake rub, too

had a wedding to attend yesterday - did an hour on the trainer/TT bike. Power is still **** on the tt bike on that setup but my hamstrings and glutes are sore today. At least it's doing something.

I'm too afraid to try intervals still, but I did do 5 minutes at like 10w less than I did 46 minutes at Nats and it was untenable.

Fun team cross ride, well, they are always fun. We climbed to the top of the gunks and then picked up a teammate who lives at the top (he actually lives at the Mountain House), who's very fit right now so we get a fresh guy tearing our legs off right after we've done a tough climb.

The highlight was when a teammate got his new lobster gloves stuck under his brake levers on a fast technical descent, screamed like (exactly like) somebody faking ecstasy, and shot off the side of the trail like a comet. I was sure we were going to have to figure out how to get an ambulance down the trail. We found him about 15 feet off the trail, curled in a ball whimpering, tucked between a big log and a boulder, magically unhurt except for a smashed banana in his pocket, which he was trying to eat. It was completely hilarious.

snuck in ~3 hours before having to make it back to town (this whole having a social life thing is weird). chilly and a light rain. perfect. as much as i love racing, having this weekend off was incredible. probably wouldn't be doing the last two races of the year if i hadn't pre reg'd.

90 minutes on the trainer yesterday with 30 of them at 90%. Club century ride today, 105 chilly miles total. Not feeling much faster but definitely feeling stronger, which is the goal for the next couple of months.

Almost 2 hours yesterday on the trainer, and 2 hours today. I feel like my legs are finally coming around, except for high effort intervals. Started one of the zwift workouts yesterday...started with 2x1 at 405 watts. I did the first one minute interval and canned the workout. Not ready for that yet.

Either way, been feeling good on the bike lately. Which is awesome because I was feeling a little rundown and not wanting ride for a couple weeks. Ready to start prepping for 2016.
