THAT SOUNDS GREAT, BUT, WHAT IF I'M ALLERGIC?
THE MAIN PROBLEM WITH MY ALLERGY, is it keeps me from doing intervals. So, I have come to rely on the blistering group rides...
... and chasing my much faster friends.
Which explains today's poor showing.
I didn't realize the problem until I dove into my Training Peaks data.
There it was.
My last pretty good power numbers were on 12.10.24.
Took a minute to remember,
what the heck I was doing on that particular day.
TMWC,
our Tuesday morning throw down.
I've skipped it for two months.
And before December...
... only hit TMWC sporadically.
My peak fitness for 2024 was back in September,
and TMWC was almost every week for the 4-5 months prior.
Having the data is helpful that way.
If we want to start with the end in mind...
- having a stellar day on _________.
... we can dig into our previous data.
It's not enough to see what has worked.
Sometimes, every time?...
- do intervals we aren't used to
- hit different group rides
- add in gym work
... we hit plateaus and need to mix things up.
Am I really allergic to intervals?
Of course not.
I just really really hate 'em, and prefer...
- incessant
- unpredictable
- burning surges
... only a sinister group of frenemies can inflict.

The Mini RaceDay bag is perfect for holding: CO2, plugs, and a mini-tool.
