quality saddle time

Last week was a really good week culminating with 9 days straight in the saddle. work outs included tempo work, spin ups, and long steady rides. Saturday's 3 hour ride felt much better then the previous week. I stayed at a 141 bpm avg including marsh/hartwood marsh.

On Sunday, my avg stayed at 117 bpm riding with Desiree. My legs are feeling good but a much deserved day off the bike was warranted on Monday. With my day off, I was able to finish building and tuning my time trial bike. I switched it to SRAM and thought that I was having problems tuning it. The indexing for the rear derailleur was falling into place well when going through the gears on the bike stand. However, when test riding the the neighborhood, it is apparent that the indexing is much more sensitive than shimano is that i'm much more accustomed to.

Now another hard week ahead to get ready for my first race on March 6th.
