Power

A pretty easy day today as I finish off a recovery week. Mostly because I was traveling for work this week, but I do have a half-marathon this weekend, too. So I did my 45 minute run this morning, covering a little over 6 miles and then at lunch, did a ride around the lake with the group from work. There is a section that we normally sprint called the bench. It took me about a minute today and I had a 483 watt average for about a minute. The scary thing is that's close to the power output that the pro cyclists do for an hour time trial!!! I did it for a minute.

This Sunday is Shamrock'n. Last year I was 35th overall with a 1:28 and change. This year I think I can do 5 minutes better and may have a shot at top ten overall. We'll see.
