I logged over six hours of actual riding time on the bike this weekend.

I'm doing the periodization thing this winter, so this is the base building phase. It's nearly impossible to keep my heart rate at sub-LT in the foothills of the Appalachians. However, my heart rate on the trainer is much more controlled.

The adaptation phase for strength training is almost over. Next is hypertrophy.

All of my teammates are putting in the saddle time this fall and winter. I'm so excited for our potential come springtime.
