I'm currently a Cat 4 road racer, occasional Cat 2 mountain bike racer in Austin, Texas. I'm going to use this blog to follow my racing and training as I attempt to move up to Cat 3 and hopefully beyond.
Basically, I'll use this to post up my daily training status, in order to keep me somewhat accountable, if anybody cares enough to follow it. I'll also post the occasional race report, or anything else that strikes me for the day.
Training:
I'm attempting to follow a training plan developed using "The Cyclist's Training Bible" by Joe Friel and "Training and Racing With a Power Meter" by Hunter Allen and Andrew Coggan, PhD. These books are great resources for those who like to plan their training analytically, which I do, since I'm a data dork. I'm currently in the Build 2 stage, with the plan to be peaking for the Washington County Stage Race on June 20-21.
Without further adieu, here's today's version of how a typical post will go...
Planned:
Workout: E1/E2 Recovery/endurance
Time: 2:00
Actual:
Went for a mountain bike ride for the first time in I don't know how long.
Time: 1:30...the trail I was at is a very short loop, and I could only take so many laps on the same 2.5 mile loop, so I cut it a bit short.
