fifty fifty

The week before a race is the time to ease off...

I've been knocked down by a cold since Sunday. Only the second time to be sick this year. But right before a race...


Rest is best. 3 days off.

A quick spin attached onto my commute on Wednesday. Still don't feel great.

Wednesday night I feel 50:50. Sunday's race? To start? To DNS?

I decide to give myself a test on the rollers on Thursday...

The worlds TT on youtube. On the balcony. In a typhoon! All the inspiration I need!

Chasing Bradley. 4 × 10 km TT efforts. 50 × 12, 100 + rpm, each one a harder effort.

I'm surprised how hard I can push it. 68 kmph av. for the last effort. This would be torture in winter. An aerobic effort today. I feel I could go harder...

It's not the perfect lead up. But all I can do is rest. Maybe a couple of short spins to keep things moving. Race on Sunday!

Monday: Rest day

Tuesday: Rest day

Wednesday: Road (30 km)

Thursday's training: Rollers (1h)
