Preparations...

for the last TT of the year. I got in one week of training in the new open position before leaving for Battle Mountain. Without a bike I didn't get to train at all while there but did end up with the flu and a torn quad. Now that I'm home, despite my feeble state, I'm resuming daily training using a super-low intensity protocol. My current physical state is a blessing in disguise as it will make it very easy to limit myself to no more than 60% of my aerobic capacity. I'll do that for the next two weeks then take off the four days before the race. Battle Mountain was quite an experience. Helping Greg Thomas was vastly more stressful than any race I've actually ridden in myself. There's just so much that can go wrong. It was a week of feeling like I was wrung through the wringer. Luckily, nothing went wrong. Though I've never had much interest in streamliners it was pretty neat seeing the different designs and innovations and the people who build and race them.
