Been training really hard these last three weeks in preparation for September's Savannah Classic, a 125km road race from Tanzania to Nairobi. After all this "proper training" I'm hoping to surprise some people with my new strength.
This morning was a nice 30 minute warm up followed by three 15 minute intervals at threshold, grinding up this long steady hill at 1-2%. After each one I felt more dizzy but, bizarrely, in less and less pain. I was clinging to the wheel of Kieron who was pushing out 260W with peaks of 300W. Next time I will ask him to surprise me once or twice with an attack, see how I cope with it.
