Tomorrow morning I will be leaving with a couple of my friends to head up to Steamboat Springs for an Olympic-distance tri on Sunday. It's a gorgeous venue, and I'm really looking forward to it. I'm also looking forward to hitting up the hot springs post-race! This week there's been this tiny little event going on throughout Colorado, the USA Pro Cycling Championships. Tomorrow's stage actually starts in Steamboat and continues on to Breckenridge. We'll have to take some detours to get there, but we're hoping that we'll be able to stop and catch the riders as the go through Kremmling. While I'm sad that I will be missing the race in Golden and Denver on all of the routes I typically ride, I'm happy I'll be able to catch a little bit of the excitement. There's also the DVR, since it will be on NBC on Sunday afternoon!
The past couple of weeks have been fairly intense with our new CTS coach, Lindsay. I've done several sets of Under/Overs on the bike. For those you basically spend some time right under your threshold, then some time over, then more time just under. And do it three times. They're tough! I know it's making me stronger, though, and teaching me to be better about maintaining specific power zones. We also did a killer track workout on Wednesday night, and a pretty tough swim Wednesday morning. Hopefully I'll be rested and feeling strong on Sunday!
