Power File 3.10.10: 10s and :30s

3x10s at my Oaklyn stomping grounds. On the ride home I got my stochastic on and banged out some seated :30s (and a :30 shortened to a :15 by a traffic light). Accelerating hard from the saddle felt pretty unfamiliar. And by "unfamiliar" I mean "like ass."

Power File 3.8.10: 1s on Beach

It's a pretty simple workout. I ride to Beach Drive by the Mormon temple, which is about 8 minutes from my house. Continue to roll down Beach until I cross Connecticut. And then I go hard for 1-minute after Connecticut and every subsequent stop sign or light all the way down to the end of Beach; turn around, and hit them all coming back as well. 9 solid 1-minute efforts with a 30-second in there on the short stretch just after Connecticut coming back. What's nice is that the recovery varies in between them so there's a few where you're still pretty cooked from the last one.

The embrocation is still burning on my legs. So awesome to actually get outside, even for only 51 minutes.

Not bad for a short outdoor ride. Toit little workout.

Power File 3.1.10: Mormon Hill Repeats

I added the slope and elevation to the view in this chart. From the bottom all the way to the top the average slope of Mormon Hill is about 5.5%. The steepest pitch is 13.2%. Ignore the HR at the beginning - it was a little screwy.

Yes, this means I rode outside.

Power File 2.21.10: 10-4s, Good Buddy
