Going way back to the winter of 2013, I was riding a computrainer a good amount at Uptown Cycles, in Charlotte NC. The workouts were great. I would do a power test
every couple of months, get my threshold power and follow some great workouts. All that work paid off in the summer, and when I moved to Portland, I felt like I was really flying on the bike. Whether I was or not, I don’t think matters as much as I felt like I was.
Part of my goals for 2018 and this blog are to get back into that condition. Hard to believe it’s been that long! I’ve raced and had fun every year. I’ve even had flashes of good form, but never fully found the magic in the legs.
Yesterday doing a Zwift workout, I had a mental-physical connection as the workout started seemingly too easy. But the 3rd of 6 power intervals I didn’t know if I would be able to maintain that
power. It brought me back to those UC workouts and how I felt when I was doing those computrainer sessions.
That is very encouraging, even if I’m still no where near the old power level.
On a separate note, I am getting my PowerTap wheel back today from Jon Lengbehn who I know will have done a great repair on it. the side of the rim blew out when I was putting some air in it, so now I have a new hoop all laced up and ready to go.
And now, I’m looking forward to joining the Sauvie Shootout this Sunday. Thanks Springer!
