Two weeks to go

Another weekend in the bag, back training on the crossbike. Threw the monster cassette on there now too. (had a 12-27 now a 11-34 for the ride in two weeks). The monster has some big gaps but also has a nice sweetspot gear 50T up front 20-something in the rear. Good for 19 +/- at a fast but comfy seemingly all day cadence.

Legs were crap this weekend. I think the bad sleep is catching up. My little boy needs to sleep through the night and the geriatric beagle needs to sleep in. Two rides at a little more than an hour each. Good power in the legs, handling skill on the sketch are good, I just felt terrible. HR was good too. Maybe it is all mental.

Two more rides next weekend to just maintain my fitness and maybe force a mini-peak. Might need to dust of the trainer for a Thursday night spin the week of the ride to air out the legs. Always feel better after the legs have been "stretched" a little.
