Spring Has Sprung!

Today was the official start of spring training:  Individual Leg Training and six minute threshold intervals.  I cobbled together my old Serotta for the occasion.  I can't stand the thought of a carbon frame in a trainer and hate putting training miles on the race bike.

Here's the crazy thing:  for most of the winter, I can barely average above 16mph for a training ride.  I've thought it might be the resistance of heavy, winter pants, or that cold air is denser than warm air, or that Gatorskin tires just roll slow.  As soon as the spring training starts, I can spin along at twenty.  It was like magic today:  in between efforts, a head wind felt like a tail wind.  Same clothes, same tires and a heavier bike.  Go figure.

Editing camera footage and learning software is still taking up a lot of my disposable me time.  I'll be traveling next week for School Vacation Week, so I'm optimizing the schedule for saddle time this week and looking forward to more substantial writing soon.
