Just managed 78 TSS, but had 102% W' expended. Didn't really feel like adding in more Z2 time so I just rode home. In-person job interview at 2pm and a Skype interview at 11pm, so I'm a bit distracted today.
Since I managed all 10, does that mean I should push it out to 45" per interval, or stick with the 30" for a while until I finish without wanting to lie down and die afterward?

There are a few varieties i do of these sorts of things and they all hurt in their own ways. The ones that feel the worst are 15/15's. Break em into sets of like 5-8min depending on your fitness and try not to die. The first set feels bad, the second set feels awful, the third set you get through because you're stubborn. If you can do more than that you are cut from a more stoic cloth than I am and I applaud the amount of self hatred you carry within.
I also do 3x12 40/20 which feel bad in their own way but it's slightly less bad because you can't manage the same type of power for the on part as the 15/15.
There's another protocol for 30/30 that sandwiches tempo between some efforts and has standalone 30sec AWC stuff for others, and has it all sandwiched between vo2 work, and that probably hurts the least of these types of things even though it puts out the highest normalized power.

Was this just one TT where you saw the difference? Or multiple efforts on the same course?

After squats everything else is higher volume for the assistance lifts. Sunday I'll hit the gym again for a more hypertrophy style workout with lower weight and higher reps, and finish with some explosive movements either pushes or box jumps

4 hours of glory on the cross bike. I rode the first hour as if I were in shape. I rode the second hour trying not to keel over dead. I rode the last two hours chatting nonstop with my buddy so he wouldn't notice how slow I was going. TSB is now -25.

Nice pic. All this Cross talk makes me want to take off my commuter wheels and put on the CX ones. Our Cross locals describe our trails as Sarlacc Pits which I do not think is a positive endorsement.

How does tire width compare between the new/old? The conti's tend to run a little wide, especially if mounted on modern rims with greater internal width. It's not unusual for 23mm GP2K's to run 25-26mm actual width on a wider clincher rim. If the actual on-rim width of the older tire/wire combo was substantially greater than the new wheel, that could make a significant difference in rolling resistance. No idea if it would be enough to offset the aero gain you should get from the disc wheel, though.

When you say power is up, are you referring to average power? Normalized power? Both?
This is a flat course?

duration of race? 7mph one day to 14mph the other is huge. a couple mph wind can make 17 seconds in a short amount of time.
I mean, 25mph = 2:24/mile. 27mph = 2:13/mile.
27mph vs. 27.3mph over 10 miles is like 15 seconds. That's not much wind differential needed to account for .3mph.

I've actually enjoyed incorporating intervals more frequently (Fat Boys, ZeCanons, and WRIs) for the last month and a half. Structure motivates me to ride more than just heading out to hammer for whatever I feel like. Definitely seeing improvement across my range of fitness, rather than just slaving to raise my FTP.

in all reality i'm just grasping at straws here for having not hit my TT time goal for the season and want to find something to blame it on other than i didn't make my legs go fast enough.

All this 'cross talk is beyond me. It's still technically summer here. The only thing "cross" about my training is the Vermont maple syrup and fresh apples in my oatmeal this morning.

anyone watch this? I was going to do this but went out since it was a lovely first day of fall, fun to watch how someone with real power (as opposed to my anemic power) work.

operating on the assumption that i'm going to get off the waitlist for gloucester tomorrow...thus, openers. first cold hands party of the season.
gloucester sent out an email this morning indicating that unlike other races, riders who get off the waitlist will be staged by points. my points have me on the front row. this means i have a realistic shot at getting a result at gloucester...which is, exciting. yes, i realize it's just the 4s and yes i realize i'm a roadie who's been racing for 6 years getting results against people brand new to the sport.
