2/14 - V-Day

I get two days in a row to claim as my own.  BDay, then VDay!  This morning’s work was the first of many ‘coached’ workout of the year.  The effort was relatively short and easy from what I’m used to doing. (This is probably a good thing)

30 minutes easy on the treadmill followed by 20 minutes of stretching everything I have…

Coach Matt is pumping info at me which is exactly what I need.  Hyannis is still on the table for next week, but more importantly, 10k TT this weekend.  A strategy is in development.  Right now we’re thinking start at 250W and then bring it up to 265W.  Final 2 miles is where we’ll unleash the dogs.  Knowing me, I’ll probably go ballistic earlier than that, but we’ll see how I feel.  We know HR will be through the roof, but that’s what it’s all about.  Get to the deep, dark place and see how long I can stay there.  Incidentally, I love this power stuff.  Can’t say enough about the data and I know that, somehow, this will translate into a much better performance on the bike.  

Chiropractor last night was productive, made some good progress since last week.  Minor tweaks, the main being the compression at the bottom of the spine.  With a few more tweaks, hope we can get that completely cleaned up.
