I will mark my calendar and slaughter a bull to honor the occasion.<br />Your remark about short intense efforts validates what I've known since I was a junior- I'm built to race crits, not long hilly grind-it-out road races. Give me short bursts of high intensity separated by equally short bursts of recovery, and I seem to cope with it pretty well in spite of my sub-par aerobic condition.IMAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09948155577806026379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31151261.post-51949119633256582922009-05-07T10:15:00.000-04:002009-05-07T10:15:00.000-04:00should say "your ability" -- this is a backhanded ...should say "your ability" -- this is a backhanded compliment, just in case you're confused.solobreakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10746976531739827476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31151261.post-31451549800074272232009-05-07T10:12:00.000-04:002009-05-07T10:12:00.000-04:00I would expect the Red Bull to jack your HR relati...I would expect the Red Bull to jack your HR relative to your power output, not the other way around. What I gather from your scribbly charts is that your HR is always high -- it's your power that has it's ups and downs. To me this indicates sub-par aerobic fitness relative to ability to occasionally produce decent short, intense efforts.solobreakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10746976531739827476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31151261.post-57269307302217398672009-05-07T07:13:00.000-04:002009-05-07T07:13:00.000-04:00Quabbin Reservoir Road Race- remember how complete...Quabbin Reservoir Road Race- remember how completely thrashed I was with cramps last week? Blue Hills was less of a shock to the system. How do you explain the very high decoupling value of the previous day's solo ride? Last night before the race, I was able to stop home after work and take a 30 minute power nap- very high quality deep sleep. The only other difference between this week and last week is that I chugged a Red Bull before the start yesterday.IMAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09948155577806026379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31151261.post-91319590026169798672009-05-07T06:04:00.000-04:002009-05-07T06:04:00.000-04:00So Mr. Wizard, your decoupling went from 7% to 2% ...So Mr. Wizard, your decoupling went from 7% to 2% in just one week.
