Short Track Mind

It’s almost the weekend again, and that means Wednesday night short track racing at Rotarun is on! Yesterday I went for an easy ride around Fox Creek, a local trail here in Ketchum, and was trying to spin my legs out. However, on m*other f*ucker hill I had to walk, and my legs felt like massive bricks! I guess I wasn’t as recovered from last weekend as I had thought. When I showed up at the race, I wanted to turn around and drive home, but I couldn’t. So off we went, 42 minutes of hot, dry and dusty hell. India put a gap on me instantly, which clearly shows Wrapcity makes you faster! But after half way or so I reeled her in and kept putting time on her. I ended up winning the race so I’m stoked, and I put some numbers down below so you can see where my heart was. I am a bit tired, so my numbers are low, but in the end it’s good training for some midweek intensity, almost like lap intervals.

The race was 42 minutes.  Avg HR 155 which is low for those races.  On a good day last year, I’d average 10bpm higher than that.  Max HR 161, which is also about 10bpm low for a short race.  I spent only 13 min above 157 LT (lactate threshold).

Cheers
