Two weeks down…

Time trial training…  oh man it hurts!  This was my second week (2 x 7.5K).  Today was a little harder and it showed in my speeds.

Week 1* - 5K Average Speeds - 36.1 and 40.1 (km/h)

Wind was hard on the first one.  My warm up was also quite bad.  I did this on tired legs but it was my only training for the day.

Week 2* - 7.5K AVS - 34.1 and 37.1 (km/h)

Todays test was done into a strong headwind.  I did a group swim in the morning and then hopped on my bike nearly after.  I thought by doing the swim it would have warmed me up but when I went to do the first interval I couldn’t get settled in until the 6K mark.  Second interval was better but still a low speed.  I checked my watch after and my heart rate was 10 beats lower than the first.

* Every interval was done from a standstill.  The terrain is mostly flat.  TTing is done with my road bike with some short aerobars.

 Looks like its going to be a beautiful weekend, make sure to get out an play!

Happy (Friday) Trainin!
