I'm starting to realize that I will never go as hard in training as I do in races or rides like Nyack. It's never gonna happen. I don't know why. I go as hard as I can in training. But when I'm trying to hold the wheel or I'm on a fast ride or race my HR is consistently higher. Got a great workout yesterday and today in PP and on Nyack. Nyack was odd today. 28+ mph going south, it was so fast, I'm thinking 'if they keep going this hard it will be like yesterday and it could be a problem'. But then we turned around to go north, and even though there was a 3-4 man break, nobody seemed motivated to chase. I know because I was up in front trying to get something going, and I'm certainly not one of the stronger guys on that ride. Go figure. But that ride felt relatively easy for me today, which was a good sign, hopefully I'm getting fitter. Wasn't a hard Nyack, but if I'm up front feeling comfortable, it's encouraging.

I think that means it's time for the Tuesday night Worlds on a regular basis.
