BUILD 1 – WEEK 1 (08/15 – 08/21) TRAINING REPORT

Received an email that one of my friends, one of my age-group competitors, was hit by a car on Wednesday during a training ride. The impact propelled him into the middle of the road breaking his hip. The car swerved to avoid running him over, but ran over his bike. The driver fled the scene dragging his bike under the car. My friend is resting comfortably in the hospital. In other news, Saturday’s three-hour training ride was my longest single mileage indoor session of the year: 55.92 miles. This beats my next best session back on July 2nd of 54.04 miles by almost two miles.

HIGHLIGHTS: The goal for this training period is strength maintenance through the end of the season (in five weeks). Continuing a 20-minute yoga routine three times weekly aimed at strengthening my shoulders and lower back. The smart trainer workouts were conducted indoors with the Zwift or Rouvy applications.
