PREPARATION 2.2 REPORT (04/27 – 05/03)

HIGHLIGHTS: Last week, I was contacted by one of the cycling coordinators of the Wisconsin Masters Games, formerly known as the Wisconsin Senior Olympics, and informed that they were including recumbent bikes and trikes in this year’s event. He had raced in Des Moines, IA, at National Senior Games last July and knew of my race results. I had raced this event to four victories on my time trial bike in 2019 and 2020:

  • 08/20/19 / 10 kilometer TT / 0:16:14 (23.54 avg mph) / 1st Place
  • 08/21/19 / 5 kilometer TT / 0:08:05 (23.30 avg mph) / 1st Place
  • 08/18/20 / 10 kilometer TT / 0:17:01 (22.74 avg mph) / 1st Place
  • 08/19/20 / 5 kilometer TT / 0:08:44 (22.32 avg mph) / 1st Place

This year’s event is being staged on a flat 1.5 mile loop in a county park, similar to previous years. The 10 kilometer TT is scheduled to start at 9:00 AM, Tuesday, September 1. The 5 kilometer TT is scheduled to start at 9:00 AM, Wednesday, September 2.

All indoor cycling sessions were completed with my recumbent trike on a Kinetic by Kurt Road Machine smart trainer + Rouvy application. No strength resistance or standing abdominal workouts were completed due to lingering back pain.
