Saturday I did a few hours trail building on our new club project. I can't wait to get out there on a bike as the loop has everything - killer climbs, techy bits, swoopy singletrack - the lot.
I was to do the Newbridge GP today, but with gale force winds and blizzards coming through, I thought better (in the end they re-scheduled it to next Saturday).
The plan was 10 minute intervals, so 10 minutes at level 6 with a high cadence, and 10 minutes at level 10 out of the saddle (big ring and middle sprocket). I kept it going for 1 hour 25 minutes. It was an interesting work out.

It was good to get a long TT session in at a high tempo. Its getting closer to race distance and effort - I'm just missing the off road techie stuff. Over the duration of the session I drank 3 litres of water and managed to fog up all the windows in the kitchen :)
So, the plan for this week is:
Monday - spinning class
Tuesday - weather permitting a spin into work
Wednesday - maybe a night spin or TT
Thursday - sit on my ass
Friday - nothing!
Saturday - If the weather is ok, I'll do the Newbridge race
Sunday - Djouce Challenge
If I'm stuck for time over the weekend, I'll just go for the Djouce Challenge on Sunday. While its not a race officially, it is unofficially, so will be good to go head-to-head with people off road for the first time this year.
