Posted in Training Reports

BASE 3 – WEEK 3 (06/20 – 06/26) TRAINING REPORT

Completed first race, on the one-year anniversary of my accident, with mixed results. My speed was 33 percent slower than last year on this course; heart rate was 12 percent lower; cadence was 15 percent lower, but power was 12 percent greater. Plus the wind was brutal: 15 mph gusting to 25 mph on two legs of the loop course. I finished second of two age-group competitors.

HIGHLIGHTS: The goal for this training period is to continue focusing on endurance and tempo intervals alternating with recovery rides. Continuing a 20-minute yoga routine two or three times weekly aimed at strengthening my shoulders and lower back. The trainer workouts were conducted indoors with the Zwift or Rouvy applications.
