I’ve been getting some decent distance on my training rides, but I haven’t really been working on intensity recently. I did a lot of power training and cardiac/pulmonary training before the Whistler MTB trip, and I also ramp up the training before every snowboard season. The climbs on the past few Ditch rides have been kicking my ass, so I decided to throw in some sprints yesterday. I sprinted from one end of WCC to the other, then recovered on the way back. Lather, rinse, repeat. Pain. Pegged heartrate. Woo-hoo! I did that until failure then cruised home to change my oil.
D = 16.51 km (10.26-miles), Vavr = 20.0 km/h (12.4 mph), Vmax = 41.8 km/h (26.0 mph), T = 49-minutes
