- According to Popular Mechanics, scientists have invented a new kind of metal that explodes upon impact. I don't know what it's called, but I suspect it is derived from the same stuff used in my chainrings. Say, you don't think they were doing secret testing on my Race Face and Truvativ cranksets, do you?
- Chris Horner Diaries - about the fans crowding the climbs: "I'm pretty sure I put an old lady in the hospital down pretty hard. I think I broke her hip. I almost broke my own hip. I attacked her pretty hard. . . We want the fans, if we can control the fans that would be great, but we want the fans." Awesome.
- Two days of consecutive rest, commute with some form sprints thrown in. Lovely. We'll see tomorrow if the rest did any good. It seems to help a little but I've spent soooo long under water - we're talking -40 on the freshness curve - that I can't help but wonder if my default settings are somehow screwed up. Even when I get into a rest week, I don't get that much fresher... Hmmm. Maybe it's time to reread Hunter Allen...

Well, the math is beyond me at the moment, but if your FTP has increased during the last few weeks, wouldn't that effectively raise your TSB? Bad things happen at -40, but I don't think you're there.

I'll email you the chart. I've noticed the Mendoza line for me is somewhere around -50. Past that, and it's like I have dead cats strapped to my feet. Brutal. *anywhere* above that, I feel okay, anything in the neighborhood or above -35, I actually feel good. That the numbers are so low, makes me think some default or the other is set wrong.
