Slightly sloppy, drippy and humid but otherwise great conditions out there for the Wednesday morning TT efforts.
Props to Joshua Caesar! He joined me @ GAP at 6 am after waking up at 4:45 and riding over in the drizzle from Queens.
My times were largely the same as they have been - steady as she goes. I'd like to shave 1:30 off my 1-lap time by the end of the summer. Ran into Dave V. and Joe M. on my way home....
Props for making it out Dave. I heard the sound of rain and then rolled over, leaving the pain for this afternoon. It's been two weeks since life and the weather has conspired to make the morning rides next to impossible, and it's been killing me.
Nice ride this morning. We tried a couple of leadout efforts. Still a long way to go until we're HTC quality, but we put together some good efforts, we'll be doing more of these on Thursdays going forward. Soon we'll be a well oiled machine, crushing souls and legs.
Huge crew out today. Great to see everyone; bleary eyed and all. I dropped out of the paceline to give the TT bike a little love but had to pull the ripcord about halfaway through; I'm too old to be drinking that much the night before and expect to useful for anything the next day. Good news is that 300 watts on the flats gets me about 26 mph. Bad news is it's like doing yoga, except without the hot chicks.. Not sure if I'll have enough time before Killington to really adapt. This is going to have to be the start of the TOC prep campaign.
We have another week of morning workouts. A lighter week than last week. We have paceline practice tomorrow. Possibly put in some leadouts. I am hoping for good weather tomorrow morning. Pouring rain cancels.
