I left the house at 10 this morning, heading for Hellyer, and the weather was DISMAL, but the forecast held promise. I got there an hour and change later and the skies parted to a beautiful day. The supervisor arrived, and the five of us who chanced the weather had a great workout. I texted coach when I got there and told him that "the weather is good, and I'm at Hellyer", along with telling him I was going to do the original plan. "Ok" was the response. I did the thirty lap warmup (legs felt pretty good, even after chasing younger riders around in a crit on Sunday), then I did (after a good rest) three 10 second full power efforts from the rail to the sprinters lane from a slow roll. My peak power was a little low, but I changed up the effort, holding off of full gas until I was actually established in the lane and then accelerating through the turn. Is that how a flying 200 is done? I don't know, yet, but I'm trying different things as I break each effort down into segments. After that, I rested and rebuilt ATP, and then did two full gas one lap efforts with three laps RBI. Then I called it a day. Barb was working on aerobar setup and gearing with her coach, so we didn't have a chance to work together. Next week, perhaps!
