I ran into a guy I know fairly well at the film festival last night. An outstanding 50+ racer with a long and storied career. He had a heart attack earlier in the year, FFS.

I internet at UCSB in college for 10 weeks in the summer of 2008 (Materials Research Lab). Those were some great, great days.

One of my in laws told me the other week if I want to race up there she has room open for us. She married very well and has a nice place on the beach, so yeah, we're going to take up that offer.

Two weeks into my switch over from Quarq to Stages and I really think the Stages measures lower. I was riding a Supersix with a 53/39x11 quarq and switched to a Giant Propel Advanced sl with ultegra stages 52/36. It really feels harder to maintain my numbers.

Occasionally I get bad sinus headaches, and pseudoephedrine works best to relieve the pressure. WADA has it as a banned stimulant above a specific level:
Assuming I take it according to the directions on the package (the 12 hour version with 120 mg), is it possible to know whether I'm street legal?

It is no restriction out of competition.
Additional information from WADA that I found on Globaldro.com https://wada-main-prod.s3.amazonaws....ne_2010_EN.pdf
The threshold level has been established based on the intake of therapeutic doses of PSE, defined as a maximum daily dose of 240mg PSE taken either as:
i) four (4) daily administrations (one every 4-6 hours) of a 60mg pill
(or 2 x 30mg pills), or
ii) two (2) daily administrations (one every 12 hours) of a 120mg pill
(extended release), or
iii) one (1) daily administration of a 240mg pill (extended release).
In line with this dosing regimen, the intake, for example, of a single daily dose of 3 x 60mg pills constitutes a supra therapeutic administration that may lead to an Adverse Analytical Finding.

Yup.
I know, it's not a surprise, I'm just realizing the reality of it. It's one thing to intellectually understand it, it's another to feel it in my legs for real. I've not re-calibrated my targets yet.

Why? Isn't change relative to where he is now the important thing? What good are absolute numbers other than e-wang? I get the conversion being useful so he can know where he is vs a year ago, but, it seems that he can find % off his new numbers and adjust his workouts accordingly. Or is coach still using old numbers as goals?

if your baseline is wrong you're miscalculating TSS, likely pushing too hard or easy (based on which direction your meter is off) for what you're supposed to be doing. If you're supposed to be doing 350 watt intervals but your 350 is really 400 things are going to get ugly quick

When I was living on campus (Isla Vista) one of my bread-and-butter rides during weekday mornings was to take it easy up the bike paths to OSM, and hit OSM + Painted Cave at a high z4.
