Hi, I am a level 2 USAC coach who has ridden now for six years. I first started riding to have a common hobby with my brother when I would visit him in California. I have usually been more athletic than him in most regards, but cycling has brought new challenges into the picture as it requires different abilities than most high profile sports. I decided to buy a pair of powercranks to try to train smarter and more efficiently so I can keep up with him on the hills....

pedal stroke feels good a day after hills
I thought I would take it easier on today's ride, but the pedal stroke felt good as I went out--smooth and stronger. So, I decided to stand on all the inclines which is a tough thing to do. You can crank out a lot of watts while standing, but I don't really have the stamina that I did prior to starting the PC training. This deficit is due to the quadracep atrophy that I eluded to in an earlier blog entry. Still, it was a good solid tough ride, and I'm actually looking forward to my next day of hill repeats. I should clarify and say that I'm looking forward to the results from my next workout of hill repeats. I need to do them, after all, in preparation for the Death Ride.
