With temperatures reaching the mid-40’s to 50’s lately, the snow we received today was somewhat unexpected. Some really dark clouds rolled into Boise at around 5:00 PM and Heather and I ended up driving home in a hail/rain-storm. As we got closer to Eagle, there was more and more frozen stuff on the ground.I hesitate to call it “snow” as it seemed to be a cross between sleet and hail.

It didn’t affect my ride as I was already planning to ride inside on my rollers. I did an “easy” set of 2×20’s while watching the Kuurne–Brussels–Kuurne race on Cycling.tv. As always I had my own music playing in the background…gotta have music when doing intervals! While my legs didn’t feel fresh at the start, my wattage eventually came up and my second interval was much better than my first.

The last 10km of the race got exciting so that helped with the motivation level. Tomorrow will be an even shorter ride with a few pushes, then I’ll treat Sunday’s TT as training. I won’t be using a disk but instead, I’ll use my PowerTap wheel so I can get some practice pacing. It’s been a long time since I’ve used a power meter in an actual TT race situation and I thought this would be a good opportunity. I’m essentially using the whole George’s Spring Series as training so there’s no pressure for results.
