No Chicken Dinner for You

Even though yesterday’s workout was encouraging, between my lack of real top-end power and some work I had to get done at the office, I

Soft 2×20’s

I’m still recovering from the race so today I just an easier set of 2×20’s. Legs felt good but could tell my body is a

Birds of Prey

Wimpy 2×15’s

By the time I got on the bike today I was already dragging so I wasn’t planning on doing anything hard. For the first few
