6-HR Non-Stop Rehearsal Postponed

Posted in Training Reports

PREPARATION 1.5 TRAINING REPORT (05/13 – 05/19)

HIGHLIGHTS: I postponed Saturday’s 6-hour non-stop rehearsal workout until next Saturday. I was planning on moving my trike from the basement into my garage. This move will make it easier for me to start riding on the local bike trails and start getting acclimated to the summer heat. However, my coach nixed that plan. She said that she wanted to see how I fared, as with the previous rehearsals, in the climate-controlled conditions of my basement. So I’ve postponed moving the trike for another week.

As for the triple record attempts on June 28, I sent out a request for help to a dozen of my cycling buddies and some friends. I need two certified officials and one crew member to qualify for world record consideration. I’ve had two responses. One friend will be out of the country. The other response was from a competitor, who happens to be the president of a local cycling club, promising to “get back to me shortly.” I’m starting to think, with a little more than a month to go, that the attempt is not going to happen. Stay tuned.

My Chronic Training Load (CTL) increased by three points, from 61 to 64.

This week’s training included six workouts on the trike. No strength workouts. All indoor cycling sessions were completed with my recumbent trike on a Kinetic by Kurt Road Machine smart trainer + Rouvy application.
