Can it be? Has spring finally come? This weather has been a real thorn in the side of cyclists in Ontario. Last year people were riding in March break in shorts and light jackets. I am still in full arm and leg warmers and a jacket, and although it's supposed to be pretty warm all week it's also supposed to rain non stop. I hope , at least, if it rains tomorrow it rains during the Mid Week race tomorrow night.
It all makes sense now.
Today I thought I'd beat the rain and ride a little earlier. I went over to the Matheson/Explorer loop and did intervals. There were a couple of dudes riding around there on black Cervelos, but mostly just a lot of people doing that fast walking thing, possibly training for Olympic speed walking. The street sweepers were out in full force today so I enjoyed gravel free cornering, not to mention a nice smooth surface to roll along.
I've been told I'm not training correctly for the races I'm doing......I need to do more hard 3 minute intervals. So I figured a little over 1/2 the loop at an attack speed, and the rest at a recovery speed would be good.
3 laps warm up (about 12kms)
6 laps (interval/recovery)
3 laps (strong but not interval speed)
2 laps (small ring spinning fast cool down)
Now I'm enjoying homemade broccoli soup, million grain bread and 1 Leffe for lunch. Damn!!!!!!
Came across this the other day.................best metal album of all time. And they are drinking Stella's.
It all makes sense now.
