De Flessen van het water

- Iker Flores. Just because.

- Been training with the power tap for a couple weeks. On Sunday, the PT told me I was putting out threshold power, but my Hr wasn't climbing above aerobic zone. Know what that means, boys & girls? Rest week. Somebody is overreached, if not overtrained. That's cool, it's been about 6 weeks of base1, and my legs are *cooked*. The slowdown for a week is welcome.

- Iker Flores.

- Ivan Basso admitted he was doping. Hmmm... that's brave. What, he couldn't have held out until the evidence was introduced in court?

- Jon S. any my boys raced 12 Hours of Lodi and did pretty well, 3d place in the evil Singlespeed class. Pat Maslar also placed in the Solo division. Well done, boys! They're beasts, just in case you were wondering.

'Djou get my email homeboy? DO you wanna do 2 1/2 - 3 hours base on Saturday or is that not consistent with rest week?

Sorry Dave.

Yes, that is fatally inconsistent with the remainder of the week.

I am on a rest week. That means Saturday I'll do an easy spin for 60 minutes, then spend the rest of the day eating bon bons and having my stiff IT band massaged by Turkish concubines.

I have to tell you, the suffering isn't fun, but for the most part, I'm really pretty psyched about this training plan, especially the recovery periods. I think the next rest week, after Base 2, has me going to Amsterdam and spending 5 days supine in the Banhof after overdoing it on some Pot Belge.

It almost makes up for the VO2 Max intervals.
