So, to lessen my chances of getting soaked, the training rides are starting around 9 and 10 AM. The plan is to get out there and get it done. Today, was a repeat of a workout from last week: 3 x 20 minute zone 4 wattage intervals. The original plan was to head back to Poudre Canyon. But, the closer I got...it began to look like this....
Eeeeeeek. I opted to stay closer to town and do the intervals on the steeper Rist Canyon. This would involve riding 20 minutes up....the doing a 10 minute recovery down. Do it 3 times...and spin home.
Every time I went up, the clouds got a bit more ominous looking. Also, the thunder was starting to over take the tunes pumping out of my iPod.
As far as the ride went, I felt good. The legs were snappy and the rpm's were turning over quickly. It is all I could ask for after a large chunk of miles this past weekend. The results are in the numbers that the SRM recorded today....
After the 3rd and final interval, I hightailed it back to the house. By the time I ended that last interval up the canyon, the rain was starting to lightly fall....and even a hail stone or two began to fall.
Lucky me, I made it home without getting wet. Question is, will I be lucky tomorrow?
