24 degrees, sunny, 20-30K W winds. Well this is it, the final week before the Century. More intervals. Thanks Clara, because of you I am now used to riding my bike gasping for air and cross eyed. I’m starting to believe intervals make a difference, but man they hurt. Some kind of pain-gain correlation? Maybe, maybe...

17 degrees, cloudy, 30K N winds. My last interval session before the Century, so I made it count. A different route with a few hills in the middle and a headwind to boot. Kind of cool today, where the heck did summer go?

16 degrees, cloudy, 10-15K NE winds. Today I started to taper, that is rest up after a long block of training. All the fitness I’m going to gather by next week is in the bank, so now it’s all about rest and recovery. Eat well, sleep well, and ride just enough to keep the legs fresh. If you’re going to err on one side, it’s better to be over rested than over trained. I have a couple of short, easy rides scheduled for next week, and that’s it. See you in Little Sands!
