Base Period 2

In addition to some new weightlifting, this week starts the beginning of my Base period 2. That means adding some additional on-the-bike workouts like tempo (zone 3 for 20-60 minute periods with no recovery time), hilly endurance (seated climbing with cadence above 60 rpm in zone 5a or 5b), and form sprints (short sprints where you only pay attention to form, not speed). All this is in addition to continuing with the spin-ups, single leg work, and fixed gear endurance rides (ummmm - fixie rides).

Regular readers will remember that I've also been trying to work on my core strength, and I can start to tell a difference. I think I've got a six pack now, its just covered with a layer of R-40 insulation.
