Preparation 1.3 Training Report

PREPARATION 1.3 (05/15 – 05/21) TRAINING REPORT

Yesterday, the National Senior Games (NSG) website revealed that the 10 kilometer (6.2 mile) time trial course had changed. Instead of the 2005 course in North Park, the site of the 5 kilometer time trial, it would be held on the HOV (High Occupancy Vehicle) lanes of the Perry Highway. The start/finish line will be at the Ross Park and Ride, a 480-car capacity lot at the north end of the HOV lane. Further details should be posted soon. I have a second virtual 10 kilometer rehearsal effort on the 2005 course scheduled for Sunday, May 28, with a goal of breaking 19 minutes. I will confer with my coach on Tuesday to see if we are going to stick with this effort in view of the change of venue.

HIGHLIGHTS: All cycling sessions were completed indoors with my recumbent trike on a Kinetic by Kurt Road Machine smart trainer + Rouvy application.
