This was a recovery week but I still put in some good effort. Trawled the Wattage Google Groups for advice on how to schedule a recovery week, and I decided that the "same intensity but two-thirds of the duration" was as good as any. Not exactly puttering around and still putting in efforts that would still encourage some physiological adaptation.
Tuesday: A Very Dark Place, 4 sets out of the usual 5+1 that I usually would do. AP 194W, 299W, 308W, 308W. 65 TSS points.
Thursday: Revolver, 10 sets of the usual 15+1 that the video encompasses. Went for above anaerobic capacity of 315W for the ON sets. AP 271W. 55 TSS points.
Saturday: Ride up to Sempah only coz Lin had a TNB reunion at Genting Sempah. Tried out the Open Pave CG's from Terry. Comfy as hell. Although it wasn't a totally groundbreaking sensation. The Specialized Roubaix tires gave the same feeling of comfort as they were actually around 25 mm instead of the marked 23 mm. Big chainnring-ed it up all the way for the very first time. The worlds hardest right turn reduced me to around 35 RPM. Thought I'd be struggling a bit with fatugue but kept it at a sensible effort and made it up with an NP of 248W. 130 TSS points.
Sunday: Rode to Bukit Jelutong to meet up with the PCC gang and then to Ijok and back. Attacked at the start of the temple climb and just managed to get over the top hanging on to the coattails of Leonard and some other guy. Hung on all the way to Petronas. Steady on the way back. 200 TSS points. Had a 5 sec power of 680W and 1 min power of 434W.
450 TSS points for the week, and CTLdidn't drop by much, from around 80 TSS/day to 78 TSS/day. Just waiting for the 2 weeks at Christmas & New Years for an endurance block. I want to try and get it up to more than 100 TSS/day.
