My astute readership might notice two things about this first post of my 2013 season. For starters, I'm trying a new naming convention for the different periods (Base 1.1 instead of Base 1 Week 1). I've decided on this so I can also add the applicable dates without a super long post title. Plus decimal points look cooler.
The second thing is despite saying "Oh yeah, I'm totally going to do more testing this season" in my pre-season goal post, I have completely forgotten to do any kind of testing last week. Whoops.
Sunday: My brother felt better, so we went to lunch today. I don't really remember why I didn't ride earlier in the morning, but I didn't.
Saturday: I was supposed to go to lunch with the family, but my brother wasn't feeling well, so that got cancelled. Karl was in the area, though, so I met up with him and we did an "easy ride on a hard course". I think that was what Karl's coach had prescribed. Basically we did hills out to northport. My legs were still sore from the rollers, so I wasn't really feeling it, but it was nice to get out.

Friday: Somewhere deep in the back of my mind I thought I could get up in time for the kreb ride after having gotten home from racing at 3am. That didn't happen, of course, so I slept in and eventually get on the mountain bike around 1pm. I rode for roughly 2 hours and it was just getting dark by the time I got back.

Thursday: Rolllllller races! Check the race report. Also, I picked up my replacement replacement zipp disc wheel at work. It spins smooth, so that ends that saga.
Wednesday: I wanted to get some riding in, but I wanted to make sure my legs were as fresh as possible for the roller races tomorrow. I aimed for an hour of riding, which took a little creativity by the end of the ride, but I got it done. I did one or two little efforts to open my legs, but really I didn't feel as rested as I had hoped I would.

Tuesday: Cold, wet, rainy day. I stayed indoors doing mostly nothing. Eventually I did my last set of spinbatas. I was able to hit 219 rpm despite being on my 16t.

Monday: While mondays are typically designated as rest days, I figured I would get a long base ride in since tuesday is supposed to rain. This is exactly what I did. I finally wore my winter jacket, which on the way out I thought might have been a mistake, but turning back into the wind with the setting sun, I was glad to have such warmth. In yaphank, I had to sneak through a LIPA blockade, and I had to skip coffee in middle island as I was running low on daylight. Two people complimented me on my ride, one guy on rocky point road, and a kid on mt sinai-whatever road.

*You might notice these values are crazy high because I still need to figure out how to change my CP in my new 2013 training file. EDIT: values have been changed to reflect new CP as of 12/3 of 200W
