heat training

Monday, June 2nd was a rest day after The Subaru Cup.

Tuesday I did 3 hours in the hot hot heat and pretty well cooked myself.

Wednesday I did hill sprints on Burke road a topped out at 42.5 MPH on my new Bontrager Classics training wheels. Those things are nice, but noticeably heavier than the RLs. The wider rim profile made my 23s feel wider and a little softer.

Thursday I went to Jim's trails for 2 hours to test my new Bontrager XR-1 team issue tires. I slid out on a few sandy corners with the low-profile lugs, and actually nailed my right leg with the bars once. My legs were tired, and my back even got sore. Once I was done, I decided Friday needed to be a rest day. It was a long, hot week of training.

Saturday: more MTB riding in the heat.
