Ride Description:

Out and Back Spin. Cool and not many out today. Just a few joggers, walkers and handful of people on mountain bikes. I would say this past week was my kickoff to decent training and I eased into the week with good ole 2X20 minute efforts at sweet spot. This coming week I will do the same thing because last week was sort of a struggle. I made it through each session, but I certainly could tell my fitness is low. Today was the first time out on the bike on pavement and the difference between that and a trainer effort showed up with my hamstrings knotting up the first five miles. After that things begin to feel a little better and maybe I should have extended the miles. I was content to end it short and know that Monday I get into my second week of official training. Am I training for anything? Nothing official other than I just want to improve my solo time on the 100 mile course.
