A combination of a poorly attempted South Beach Diet and a hard previous two weeks made the weekday sessions pretty much a bust. Found out the hard way that carbs are absolutely essential to quality training sessions.
Wednesday: Did 1.5 sets of Hell Hath No Fury. Aborted the workout after 10 minutes of the second 20 minute interval. The legs were not in shape and the mind wasn’t able to push through. Did the sets at 240W and that felt like a monumental effort. 65 TSS points.
Thursday: Tried to do A Very Dark Place but couldn’t even get the 1st interval up to 280W. Decided to bag it after feeling weak physically, and mentally not being able to push through even a tempo set.
Saturday: Some carbs on Friday left the legs in much better conditions. Rode with BJCC to Ijok (via Latar) and Batu Arang. Rotating paceline on Latar including a breakaway on the final stretch to Ijok after the left turn was good threshold work. The rest of the ride was spent pretty much at aerobic or tempo. 280 TSS points.
Sunday: Rode to KKB with P2K. Needless to say, it was hard work. Going out it was a head/crosswind after Rawang and they were going full gas. Did my best to hang on and even spent a turn or two at the front. On the way back, took the Ulu Yam way. Despite the hard miles already in the legs, I was quite pleased that I still managed 265W NP up the climb. Didn’t go too crazy at the beginning, rode within myself and managed to chase down a couple of people who had gone on ahead at the start. 255 TSS points to cap of a great, HARD weekend of riding.
615 TSS points, mostly accrued on the weekend.
