Week 8 Goals
- Complete 90% of daily core exercises - didn't complete any!!!
- Place top 20 at Thruxton - another top 40, top 20 was unrealistic
- Average 330W on Fitness Test 2 - nearly there, ave 322W, but wasn't feeling 100%
A great example of how lack of sleep and booze can completely screw your training. Didn't manage any of the morning core exercises at all (5 mins a morning), didn't record any heart rates, missed 2 recovery rides and was no where near 100% for the fitness test or race at Thruxton.
That said, performance at the fitness test and Thruxton show that even when fatigued / hungover / dehydrated I'm still performing better than even a week ago.
Discovered a new max to my heart rate at Thruxton with a last ditch effort for the line, good to know that I can get beyond my limits, though I nearly threw up in the process.
Second fitness test went really well, slowly getting the 2 power output features closer together.
Recovery rates have improved greatly, getting heart rate down to 119-117 within three minutes of being at 100%.
Next period is Specialisation, which equals pain.
