My training the last two weeks have consisted of steady state intervals to start to crank up the intensity for the power intervals heading my way later in March and April. Cross training has been in the form of snow shoveling deep snow, pushing cars and trucks out of deep snow, walking through deep snow, and full body shivering as the high temps at Kents Hill are a whopping 23 degrees and lows -4 earlier this week. Finally, today we reached 41 degrees. Will it last? Doubt it! It's March, but someone tell that to Earth!
Good news! My brother, who is a fellow bike freak and recovering football player has just registered for the Tour de Syracuse in May. He will be competing in the road race and then the criterium (sort of like NASCAR, but on bikes. Complete with gnarly crashes. Stay in front, Dave away from the drama!). Check it out at http://www.bikereg.com/events/register.asp?eventid=8014 to see the details. I have four words for you, Dave to live by for the next 8 weeks: Power Intervals, Descending Intervals. Have fun (Not!)

Way to encourage him Matt!
ReplyDeleteMy bro aint no stranger to pain. Why else would a 6'7" former BC lineman decide to haul his large carcass over hills on a bike? Golf just doesn't hurt enough for us. We're a strange family.
ReplyDeleteI'm just hoping to steer clear of another crash & colarbone surgery (plate & 6 screws). I like pain but not that kind of pain.
