I actually enjoyed it (which means my FTP test probably yielded a lower figure than what I was capable of). Edited June 23, 2021 by Frosty TheoG, 'Dale, Scary Rider and 3 others 4 2
Jbr Posted June 23, 2021 Posted June 23, 2021 Also had that kind of day, doing what I hate... intervals on the IDT. I actually didn't even finish... can't wait to go out again Eddy Gordo and Patchelicious 2
The Ouzo Posted June 23, 2021 Posted June 23, 2021 just did a zone 2 cruise on the IDT yesterday. Don't want to push things just yet. Went for a Rapid COVID test yesterday and came back positive, so decided to go and get a lab test done to be sure, so don't really want to push things until I have the results. I don't have any symptoms, but 4 or 5 people that I work with tested positive, hence the test.

Nothing like being outside.... I did a very good 8x4mins:2mins workout on sunday after 2 weeks at 630 TSS and now today on the IDT I can't do anywhere near the same power for 4 mins, despite it being only 3x4mins:3mins followed by 3 sets of 40:20s. It's crazy how I'm now unable to produce any power on that thing, when after lockdown it was the opposite... Edited June 23, 2021 by Jbr

Nothing like being outside.... i have similar issues. get psyched for some intervals that look OK on screen, get on the IDT that what power I had has fled my legs and the session gets worse, then my brain turns off and i shut it down. These sessions are worst when i still have to go and shower, so I'm really into quitting early on those days. Since I'm not paid to do this, why should it be a chore? Eddy Gordo 1

I actually didn't even finish... can't wait to go out again I struggle to get the intervals/sets done that are longer than 3 minutes with minimal recovery valleys, while also looking out for traffic on the road, at intersections, or both. Recovery/Endurance rides, like today, can be done. Add the darker hours earlier, plus the Tour from next week, and I'm conditioning myself to "enjoy" the trainer. Sucks big time, but I guess the benefits will outweigh the suffering. My goal for MalutiD90 (if it goes ahead in September), is to be No. 1, 2 or 3, and not 5, 6 or 7 in the team. Not need to suffer as much as the others.

justinafrika Posted June 23, 2021 Posted June 23, 2021 (edited) Me trusty ol' 'dale trail 2 is still up to LOADS of fun adventures. The Sacramento shipwreck coast today, on a day itching to wreck ships. And yes, bar ends are de rigeur for wrenching her and a 6'3" 99kg old geezer up those high-gradient, sandy coastal paths.

Actually not a bad thing in the long run, chat to Wendell. Balwin are incorporating the trail network and Wendell will have a more formalised venue area. Frosty 1
