Cold. This is my pit stop after my final hill climb interval. Adding a wind proof full length jacket. Helped tremendously. View from lookout at Oak Mountain State Park off Peavine Road. Rain had stopped so at least you could see Birmingham in the distance.

We know, it's September. But pretty soon it's going to be October. Then the holidays. Then Spring! So for many, it's time to buckle down and settle in to basemile season. And while the indoor trainer thing is super convenient, it is nice to go out and brave the elements a couple times a week. Make sure you've got what you need to make those miles comfortable.

FTP

For folks who do not know what an FTP test is, imagine 5 minutes of “ok this is hard” followed by 10 minutes of “I am not going to make it” followed by a final 5 minutes of “I am clearly going to die before this is over, why is this taking weeks to finish?!” on a bike.  I had let the memory of their pain fade for almost 2 years, but Coach Jerry Dufour with Drew Edsall believes in them, and so here we are.  Back to the pain.  I completed my initial FTP today.  I went out too hard, but still kept a solid average (222 W if interested).  Will have to work on pacing, but again 2 years lets the memories fade too much, and I suppose that includes pacing technique.  

What I learned about myself is that I am not in as bad a shape as I thought.  My FTP is close to its all time high (225) but I am heavier so my power to weight ratio is significantly worse.  However, I am working on that problem too.  I realize these tests are major benchmarks and allow coaches to more accurately detail training programs, but I don’t want to do another one for quite a while.  The memory must fade...

First century ride of the year 💯, impromptu one at that. Knocked out 50 of it on the GP ride this A.M. (Great coffee stop after, much needed) It was too nice so I didn't want to go home. Knocked out another 30 miles and then realized I had only another 20 to go so why not? 5 1/2 hours later I had 100 miles under my belt. Who wants to do another century on Monday? I have a awesome route planned! #basemiles #vscocycling #cycling #cyclingphotos #stravaphoto (at Richfield, Minnesota)
