10 week Computrainer Kick Off

We kicked off the 10 week program with a power test today. Marty chose a 10k dead flat course for the test. After a nice 20min. warmup, we hammered away. This is an early indicator of what my power looks like right now and on the 10th week, we'll do the same test to measure progress.

As for the test, I averaged 308 watts for the 10k session. My HR was a new sky-high 165. I even saw 178 at one point. I was happy that I stayed pretty steady for the whole effort. It will be interesting to see how much my power can improve over the next 10 weeks of riding these sessions 3 days per week. Here are a few pics from today's session:
