Intensity

Base is over, and my first Build period started yesterday. Now I will start focusing on increasing my power, anaerobic capacity, and race specific skills. You know...the workouts that hurt like a mofo.

I tried to cap off last week's training with an FTP test, but coming off an illness...well, that was a good idea gone horribly wrong. I tried it again yesterday, and while it went better than Sunday's attempt, it was still not great. I fought wind both days, but I think that after almost 3 months of LSD riding, I'm a little stale in the hard effort department. So, for the time being I'm not gonna worry about the testing. After getting some more hard efforts in I might try the test later in the week. If I don't, no big deal.
