I don't even want to think about the cramps from last year. Misery.

Headed to PP for an hour with kid & trailer...
Heading to Prospect at around 2ish for 2 20 min TT Effort.
Hey Nosson, I will be at PP around 2:30
I'm headed to PP; will be there around 5pm

5 minutes at threshold then 10x1 minute maximum efforts aka the "Vomit Comet"
Threshold at 430.
I'll be out in PP riding with a non-Kissena buddy. 2hrs of Tempo with some intervals thrown in. Jules, I won't try to keep up with your Vomit Comit, but will say Hi :)
I'll be in PP 6:45-8:30. A couple of 20 minute efforts just under ftp.
Heading to PP for 730pm for some vo2 hot laps.
Great to see the friendly faces out there; don't think I've seen Ross since the hills of LA.

Ran into Peter Bysshe, of 2010 Battenkill fame. He kept me honest out there.

Think I also saw Professor Ragot, and an apparition of Darth Vader riding a Unicycle...
Heading to PP for hour
How did I miss everyone?

Did 2x20. Felt awesome.
Same on the 2x20.
Thankfully the numbers can be below threshold...
Kinda crowded.
I left at 7.
I'll be out again in the morning. Mostly social, one 10 minute stretch of tempo. Coffee afterwards.
Jules, I may join you. At what time will you be around the park?
6am GAP is the usual. I'm doing to aim for 6:30 tomorrow.
Sorry Jules, but I was still in bed during that time...
no worries
sleep is magic
I will be out this afternoon - say 4:45
One hour hard.
I'll be out later tonight for 30mins warm-up followed by some 20min TTs. I'll be rollin' in through the gates at about 8pm or so. Holla at me -Norm
I showed-up at about 10 after 8... I spun around waiting for my legs to arrive, did some fartleking around, thinking legs would show-up any moment ready-to-TT... 6 laps, legs didn't show-up, so I went home.
I did a hard 2 x 20 in the park at about 2PM.

Gorgeous out there. Ran into Nosson about 7 minutes into my second interval and implored him to grab my wheel. I slung him around the park for the next 13 minutes.

I was telling him to stay on and not let me drop him, but kid had no problem staying on at all. In fact, when I ended the interval and slumped over my bars and soft pedaled, Nosson stood up and lunched himself up the hill. Kid's getting strong!

For my part, I set an all time 20 minute record at 301 watts.

So glad its pleasant to ride outdoors again.
Wow

That's a bonerlicious number

I set my all time 10 minute power today and it's lower than your 20 min

How do you do it? Does the ox blood really help?!?
Congrats on the power record, what is that repeated as w/kg?
Damn Ryan, yeah tell it in watts per kg.


I did 2x20,10 minute rest. 314 watts for the first, 330 watts for the second. felt great. the 330 watts 4.34 watts/kg . Way more fun outdoors than on the trainer. Plus had an NY Velocity guy on my wheel for the 2nd interval so I was trying to make him hurt.

Mike
Chunky numbers!
4.34, man your flying!
@mperlberg, assuming your around 168 lbs, is it safe to say your ftp sits around 4.125w/kg for the hour? What category do you race in? Solid dude. Sorry if this is off topic.
