Rochester Flyers

Rochester Flyers is NOT Rochester Minnesota's bicycle messenger service. Rochester Flyers is NOT a cycling club or race team. Rochester Flyers is NOT a bike shop or a company. Rochester Flyers is just me, going on rides, attempting to return to racing, doing alleycats and spewing my opinion online.

can't sleep, clown'll eat me...

And so another work week begins. Weekend go by to fast, and there's never enough time to do all I want.

Today's post will be brief as I gotta get some work done, I have a meeting later and I don't really have a whole lot to say.

Training for last week was just about spot-on. I met my TrImp goal, though I almost didn't get a ride in on Saturday. But it stoppd raining and I found some motivation in the afternoon to get in a little more than an hour.

As I've mentioned before, I use TrImp scores to quantify my training. Below is a chart showing weekly TrImp goals (the bars) vs. the actual scores (the line).
TrImp Goal vs. Actual
So I'm pretty much on track. This week is a sort of recovery week (#4 in yellow), then it's build, build and another recover.

At that point, I'll be done with the 3rd, 7 week long period and I'll try to re-evaluate the workloads for the the next 7 week period. I'm hopeing to do more peak power and LTHR testing, though I only did one - about a month ago.

My weight has gone down a little since I've been in the saddle more. This is sort of good (less weight per watts of power output = faster), but I want to be sure that the weight I'm loseing is fat and not muscle mass. Maybe I should make an appointment to sit in the bod-pod to figure out my body fat%.

As I mentioned above, this week is a sort of revovery week. But that doesn't mean no riding. Especially since I'll be racing Ken Woods on Saturday. It means I'll be trying to get out and ride still, but at lower intensities. Like insted of going out tonight and hammering, doing intervals or hill repeats, I'll try to meet up with the RASC group for the short easy recreational ride. Riding with this group will be good as I can attempt to be social (I'm pretty anti-social by nature), and I won't have to (hopefully) focus on riding easy.

One last thing... I totally have to re-do the Rochester Flyers race schedule. Looks like some of the races I have listed as ROY events are not, and others not listed are. Who even knows if I'll be competitive in the ROY series?
