Some great training weeks - The lost post

After the disappointment of Mt Hamilton I decided to take a fresh look at the training and see where I was lacking. As always real watts seems to be the problem an that has been hinted at all season, from the first TT at Valley of the Sun to Chico SR and Wente.

I needed to include more solid big ring efforts and a lot more climbing to build up some watts before weight training starts later in the season. Hitting the gym is probably the best way to build horse power but not at this time of year. I searched Craigslist and have found a Golds Gym for the office so things should be easier come fall.

I've had some solid training weeks with rides to the office on multiple days and a huge weekend with Spencer and Co riding to Bonny Doone and East Zyante. I racked up 111 miles and 10,000 feet of climbing in a day followed by another good session on Montebello the following day. The fitness and recovery are excellent but the quest for more power continues.

This week is a rest week and we're off to The White House in Washing DC for a tour and a forum on Entrapneurship and Small Business Growth. Quite a treat as Super Supporter Hailey is coming too.
