Week 18

Monday: VO2max intervals at Kiara Hills. Initially wanted to do the loop at Mutiara Damansara but that had too many speed bumps. So did 1 interval there and another 5 at Kiara. Didn't quite manage the 300W on the climbs due to the gate and short downhill section, but good enough. 110 TSS points.

Tuesday: Short and sweet. Did Revolver with 330W during the ON section. Highest NP so far @ 279W. 75 TSS points.

Wednesday: Was supposed to follow Terry to Sempah but miscommunication led him to start off without me, so I did Tour de Damansara Heights with JK. Did an FTP set NP 255W to get to iDamansara, then just followed JK on the climbs. TDDH gave an NP of 205W which gave 131 TSS points for the day.

Thursday: Initially didn't want to ride today, but given the fact that we were about to have a nig dinner, I forced myself on the trainer to do HHNF. Didn't do the last 3.5 minute TTT though. Took it as it came. W/U 239W, Set 1 245W, Set 2 251W. 80 TSS points.

Saturday: Home - Junction to Tranum - Home. Took it slightly easy on the climb to Sempah on the way there for an NP of 237W, and pushed it hard on the way back from the Hot Springs for NP 241W. It was quite hard on the way back and I felt that I was just "hanging on" instead of "pushing on". But turned out feeling was just that, a feeling as it was a slightly higher wattage coming back compared to the Bentong ride 2 weeks back. Nice to finally manage a 30 km/h average Bentong ride which did not involve drafting the Le2a train.

The recovery week proved to be a boon and I thought I did well this week, with interval rides on weekdays and a strong long ride on Saturday. Initially wanted to prepare legs for the SIC Bikeathon, but family events curtailed that plan. So the weekend ride was adjusted. Wanted to ride both Saturday and Sunday but the Sunday ride was washed out by rain. Nevertheless, another good week in the legs for a total of 770 TSS points.
