Ok Week 5 was a bit hard. I hope anyone that is following the plan would agree. Legs are burning a bit. I did get in a fun Mtn Bike ride sunday with tons of MUD.
I did the work but felt a bit slow all week. I didn't race this weekend so I did get in a solid 20 minute effort. Watts were good/great but I could tell I was tired. Week 6 here we come. I still feel on track and am riding strong even with some tired legs. Still riding at 5.2 for 20 minutes and 6.3 for 5 minute. I have yet to really try and nail one of these efforts for all I am worth. But to have these numbers repeatable ..............week to week............. I am pretty excited about that.
The goal this week is to get some SOLID work in. I want to get some great core and running done. I need to keep the head down and just do the homework. Only 2 more hard weeks left. Then it is downhill till masters natz.

Sam- Cross race in the Poki Nov 24th? Cant find any info.
so, your 20 minute efforts; what at what % of your theshold power are you doing those?
NOVEMBER 17th CROSS in Pocatello IDaho HIGH NOON on ISU"S CAMPUS
look at www.kriegcycling.com for more info (my blog)
I have been doing the 20 MINUTE efforts at 95% of my 20 minute max power. I can test at 340+ so I have been between 315-335 for most of them. I usually try to hit 165-170 hrate as my guide. That is really where I can ride and not DIE but be pretty pegged. I have been focusing more on the hard BURSTS than the consistent 330 power. Cx seems to be more about 450+ than 330....
