Performance beats indicators always. I just never understand the in house liar, the bathroom scale.
It says year-on from 2021 I am 4 pounds heavier. Nothing in terms of an all out test of 20 or an hour has been done recently. If anything I failed my TT test in the 40k making 7w less than last year on an admitedly hotter day.
But, in general, am otherwise setting
PR's on things I track in Strava and ride all the time.
Also, about two weeks ago, on a hilly gravel segment in Umstead on the group workout ride set an all-time outdoor 5min power. I also got into the top 20 both ways on some of the premier segments in there that the true "big boys" are leaders on.
I don't get it. The power isn't up that much from 2022 despite my efforts and my weight is up. I have had a lot more run volume this year. After winning the du didn't want to give all that up. And can absolutely fly compared to last year doing that. And run pace and weight is very very linear.
Shrug.
