Re: Goals galore

Rode another PB in the pursuit but not by much (0.2x sec) faster. Was going for a 3:45. But a stack more power (35+ W). Figures on the blog. Putting it all in perspective, I rode my 3,000m IP today 19 seconds faster than two years ago at the same competition and velodrome (Melbourne DISC). Training and racing with power and coaching - what can I say? It works! I have more time to shave yet..... |

It got better today when I made podium at the National Masters Points Race.  A bronze in a pretty savage race. Tried to post some details to blog but blogger not working properly.  Will try again later. |

1. Barely saw the rollers this winter, no problems there. 2. FTP still right around 345ish maybe 3. Weight 75-76kg. On the scale this morning @ 75kg. 4. 6 days of training per week is the norm. Race goals: 1. Kunisaki - 4 hr 34 min, placed 5th ( http://www.cycleiwakuni.com/blog/index.php?id=155 ) 2/3 are late season goals 4. Have raced 4 other times so far this spring, have 5 races between now and my fall "A" priority races. This racing thing is addictive!

Re: Goals galore
Since my power goals have been met, now on to some concrete racing goals.
Now that in my first crit I was able to lead the pack around for a few laps instead of sitting in like I've done during all the road races I've done up to now, I plan on winning a race, which doesn't seem unrealistic. An overall goal is to collect enough points in a cup competition (1 win would give me lot's of points) to move into the elite class which would allow me to ride in the Finnish road championships. My strength is overall solid FTP, hill climbing and sprinting and can ride a long time at a hard but consistent pace, my goal will be to form a breakaway or get into a breakaway well before the finish line is close. My weakness is repeated surges a few kilometers away from the finish combined with placing myself for a final sprint in a large group. I still lack endurance for long road races and become extremely fatigued and will have barely any sprint at the end of 120 km, will have to do long hard training rides to get it. -bikeguy |
