Weekend Wrap Up

Rest day Friday. Rain rain go away. lol I opted for a Zwift TT on Saturday for Strawberry TT Prep. 19,5 mile course. I went a bit easier  but steady higher cadence tempo to keep the legs fresh. 2nd Place in my category / 5th Overall. Sunday Josh & I hit Town Run in Indy. Awesome day. So much fun. A little redemption as it will be a year next weekend from our last visit. I broke my collarbone when Josh yelled snake which scared the crap out of me. It felt great going back and having fun today. Quite a few PR's for us. Josh did great! I hit the TT bike for a 10 mile interval ride with 2 KOM's in Cow Country in the evening. Pretty good numbers too. Fun stuff!

Hawk's Lair Challenge Video

Holiday Weekend Wrap Up

 

After a rest day Friday, I started the long weekend off with a TT workout in Cow Country. Old Winter Mad Cow 5 mile TT route from SR 41 & SR 202 finishing up Walnut Grove. No warm up then whamo. KOM at 304 watts. Ride # 2 at MoMBA. Fun stuff! Josh & I hit Hueston Woods Sunday for nearly 3 hours of fun including riding the old race course. It's been awhile. Great ride! I hit the TT bike again Monday for some intervals then finished it off at MoMBA for the Mad Cow Ramble 10 laps of Hawk's Lair Challenge. Josh & I got it done. I rode with for 9 laps then TT'd the 10th lap. Strava segment did not read but I felt great. 9:39.Be 9th on the segment but misread. New Strava software won't allow new segments that duplicate the old. Oh well, I'm happy. What a weekend!

MCR R & G TT Video

Mad Cow Ramble - R & G TT - Fatty Style

 

Mad Cow Ramble Road & Gravel TT in Farmersville last night. 56 degrees with 15 mph NW wind. A bit chilly in the parking lot but we warmed up after a few pedal revs. The arm warmers came off for the TT. 13.8 miles with 800 ft. of climbing. Downhill start on pavement then the gravel. Despite the rain, the gravel was dry & fast. I felt great hammering around the course. 18.2 mph avg which is a pr. Yeah! Very pleased to see an effort like that.  Big Tim worked hard on his e-mtb. His HR was high. Great seeing him out there. Josh was sick the day before and only ate food for the first time a few hours before the TT. He did a great effort on his heavy fatty too. Tebow went earlier yesterday. It's not about a ton of people. More the merrier, but we got bikes to ride. Those there, attack!

Mad Cow Ramble Road Bike TT

Back to back night's of racing. 16.72 mile route with a little bit of everything. Not a bad effort. All good until 11 miles. The legs were feeling it in the head & cross wind to the finish. Lost .6 mph avg there. Last mile to the finish on Lost Creek Shelby was straight in the wind.  Gave it all I had left. Ouch! Good kind of suffering tho. I'm in a valley form wise by design but these races are building things nicely. Great job everyone!

Blue Streak TT


April's Blue Streak was 39 degrees, so I rode the fat bike. Back for # 2 on the TT bike. Not a fast conditions night per say. SE wind at 4- 5 mph. Find out how my position changes faired from last week. I started a bit slow, but hey I'm old now. haha Watts were pretty good overall. East along SR 235 was ok but not great. I made the turn South with 2 miles to go giving everything. Good effort there. Last .3 to the finish was great at 30 mph with 353 watts. 10th Place overall minus the HPV / Recumbents. 26.5 avg. 6th - my place separated by only 11 seconds so the TT form is coming along. New adjustments felt great. The Beast flew with 2nd Place at 29.1 mph avg. Wow! T.Bolt did well at 29th place / 22.8 for first time on TT bike this year. Tebow did great as well. No warm up since he started all racers. It rained everywhere but on WPAFB. Stole another one!
