the training effect

thats what the scientists call it when your body responds to the training load, in case you didnt know. i didnt do 4 hrs today i ran out of time, and energy. i did 3 hrs on the scalpel up around the zoo to city creek and some bobsled action mixed it. that bike hauls asssss. i just finished 2 weeks of training load 41 hrs in 12 days with 2 rest day. i like the 3-1-3 format. thats 3 days on one day off 3 on again. it works good for me. i have not ridden the trails for over a week and i can tell im way faster on the climbs. today was like this: slow but strong, low heart rate, low breathing rate, kind of tired but i had a lot of power and the climbs just motored by with seemingly no effort. im am already getting ready to race saturday. i think it will be a good one. for sure im not super fast like bg or jones but compared to 3 weeks ago its a big improvement. hope it keeps getting better. the key races are just a few weeks away.

maybe i'll do the 12 hrs in park city with someone on a duo team. maybe bart the beagle.
