I didn’t get to ride too much this weekend. I actually wouldn’t have minded to try the O’Fallon Road race, as I would have loved to have had some long intense miles in prior to Winghaven, but I had way too much going on to make it out there. Between all the birthday parties and baptisms, I was only able to sneak in two short rides this weekend.

Saturday I got out for 1:20 late in the afternoon. I needed to get some intensity in, so I rode out to the flats and did a few intervals. Just did a total of 3 efforts, each 3 minutes long, with 3 minutes of rest in between. I averaged roughly 350-360 Watts for each effort. My legs and lungs screamed and then I just limped home.

Sunday I managed another solid 1:15. I didn’t do anything structured at all. Just rode. I ended up out by Ridge Rd again, so I at least climbed the hills down by Castlewood. It was a nice early morning ride.

My legs didn’t feel so good at all this weekend. Hopefully I’ll be good to go for Winghaven though. Even though I am not training anywhere near as much as I would like to, I feel I should be far enough along to start performing a bit better in the 3s races.

Today is Tuesday, it looks like the sky is going to shat on us again. I’ll have to check the weather in a couple of hours and debate on whether I drive out to the TNW and race, or go for a hard ride closer to home… or set up shop in the garage (yuck).
