Almost, the time change is a good indicator that spring is right around the corner. I believe next week. I am doing well with my training but it is just the start of Base 3.
To recap the weekend:
Friday, started the weekend early with a long endurance ride. The wind was pretty strong as Rich and I headed west to pick up Craig. My schedule called for a 3hr ride but ended up with a bit more time in the saddle. I did what I needed to do... stay in Zone 1 & 2.
Saturday, I meet a bunch of people north of town to do hill repeats. I did one warm up hill on Mckinly up to 72nd then back to Hiway 75 for longer steeper hills. I worked two hills and I was somewhat disappointed that I couldn't get my HR up into my zone 5a. It was a force workout so I was focusing more on getting the burn in my quads. I got that for sure. On the "Surfside" hill I definatly got both the burn and up to Zone 5a. A couple times into the wind I used the wind on the flat roads as my hill to get the desired affect. Anyway, Force workout... check.
Sunday, I had spin class then a 3hr endurance ride. Check. I pushed it into my Zone 4 a couple times. Which I am not happy with but I am getting better at controlling my urge to take off with the group.
This week is Base 3 week 2. More of the same. Adding about 3 more hours to the weekly time in the saddle. I am pretty much done in the gym.
