90' of tempo on the FG. Windy and a bit of rain, but pleasant when you're dressed for it.

I'm sunburned. A little early in the year for that, but I'll roll with it.

3 solid days of 2hr commutes, with a gain of ~50 TSS combined between the three days more than usual.

A friend turned 41 yesterday. We took him mountain biking at his request, 2:15, some hard jumps in there. My toes cramped.

Got my broke ass outta bed at 5:30 this morning (and dragged my poor girlfriend with me) for 1:30 mostly easy, with some 1' efforts, 2 x 10' tempo, and 2 x 5' high-cadence. My legs, predictably, felt like garbage after taking it easy all week.
I cannot ****ing wait to race my bike tomorrow. And the next day. And every weekend from here to October.

out walking the earth
while I admire the enthusiasm 40 degrees and pissing rain would be a pretty good excuse to sleep in and save your best legs for Sunday. getting sick or hurt the first day of the season isn't worth it in a part of the country where you can race 5 days a week, often multiple times.

It's totally going to be a balmy 47, and my best legs are still about three months away. I also live all of 9 minutes from the start line--I'll be on the road at 5:45 and back in bed by 8.

4x - 4min Z4, 6min Z1, 150 meter sprint

15hrs this week, 295 miles. Feel fresher than I did at the beginning.
I think it is safe to say that I am doing it right.
Coach has me taking 2 days off, after which he's transitioning me into intervals. Told me to find lots of hills and climb them as fast as I can. "I want you to taste blood after every interval. Don't stop until you reach the top". Also, 4x10min @ 30mph+ with 5min rest between efforts. Also, lots of other tasty, terribly hurty things.
I am contented.

1:30 JRA, mostly Z2 and Z3.
Checked out a couple new-to-me hills I found out about. Neither of them had any advantage over the hills I currently train on (unless you count crappy pavement and lots of traffic) so I was pretty disappointed. If anyone in the Hartland/Howell MI area knows of any 3' hills around here please let me know!

Training status: commuted yesterday; there was supposed to be light snow on the way in (cool!), but instead it was light drizzle... boo. Rode home in the dark without a tail light, b/c I just don't give an F.
Wut, no talk of avg speed??? Is this the same tkp?
Ah there we go, that's more like it. =]
