This third week of LT workouts got off to a good start with a couple good rides yesterday and today. The power numbers are good and better than they were for the past two weeks of LT training, despite the bit of cumulative fatigue that’s accumulated.
Yesterday Kyia, Chris, and I found some great burritos at a local Mexican restaurant. I’m talking Chipotle size and density with guac, for only 4 bucks. A stop at Sugarbrook for some coffee followed before we parted ways. They are flying back to Minnesota tonight, but it sounds as if they got in some good training during their stay. It was cool to hang out a bit and talk about the soon-approaching season. We never got in a ride together since they spent a majority of their time off-road while I was on-road since I don’t have a mtb yet. The Americano I had was excellent and I had forgotten how good caffeine makes me feel. I haven’t had any caffeine since December so my system was 100% charged off this 12 oz cup! I’ll be waiting until race day for my next cup I think. I’d hate to have such a rush become something that my body “required� everyday. Addictions are bad, so I’ll avoid the daily caffeine.
The next couple days are designed for recovery so they’ll be pretty ridiculously easy.  At least I have the training goals which changes day to day, because not much else does around here. It’s 82 and sunny again today. I hope everyone is enjoying the riding. Keep it Real, -TJ
