Week of 3/17

April 13 TT race is quickly approaching.  I feel so unprepared since I haven't touched my mountain bike yet.  I did tear it down and clean it.  Also had my hubs cleaned up and had the shock on my Epic replaced per a recall from Specialized.  Other than that, it's hanging in my garage.  On April 3 I leave for a four day snowboard trip in Colorado.  REALLY looking forward to that.

This week the Build 2 phase continues.  You can find my workout HERE.  Below is a graph of how the week was planned out, per Friel's book. 



Life makes it hard to follow a strict schedule, so I'm sure workout days will get moved around.  I just make sure I get 3 interval days and 2 endurance days and 2 recovery days.  Sometimes I do break my own rules.  Last Friday I did 1.5 hours of spin class, then woke up Saturday morning and did another 1.5 hours.  That's 3 hours of spin in less than 24 hours.  I did a VERY easy ride Sunday. 

Also, I bought some PowerBar Protein Plus REDUCED SUGAR bars the other day.  Don't buy those; they taste awful.  I normally buy the regular Protein Plus bars.  The RS suck.  I did buy the Powerbar Performance Bar and those things are great.  I eat one on the way to the gym in the morning and it gives the energy I need for my workout.  Love those bars.  Reduced sugar bars..not so much.
