PREPARATION 1.4 (05/22 – 05/28) TRAINING REPORT

No further details about the National Senior Games 10 kilometer (km) time trial course were released this week. After conferring with my coach on Tuesday, we decided to substitute 5 km and 10 km virtual courses I raced in 2019-2020 at Wisconsin Senior Olympics. On Saturday, I completed Race Rehearsal #2 on the 5 km (3.18 mile) virtual course in 0:10:37 at 17.9 mph. On Sunday, I completed Race Rehearsal #3 on the 10 km (6.44 mile) virtual course in 0:21:57 at 17.6 mph. These times were considerably slower than my previous victories on these courses at 22-24 mph, illustrating the difference in speed between my standard time trial bike and my current racing recumbent trike.

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