A Sweet Day Indeed

Well, today was an incredible day on all fronts. Turning over a new leaf with a President Barak Obama’s inauguration, been waiting 8 years for this day! Weather was perfect and loads of sunshine here in Colorado and the legs felt awesome doing my “Sweet Spot Intervals”. I was out there in short sleeves and exposed legs in January!!

No sleeves and the legs fully exposed!

Climbing up Lee Hill in the midst of an interval

Repeats, occured from the 2k to 4k mark each time up the hill. 3 repeats at 10 minutes a piece. The legs were great and the power stayed relatively consistent each time up. In fact, I actually blew away my sweet spot zone and was dipping into threshold. Perhaps its time to update the FTP as the hr was in the right zone, and these were strong but not full gas threshold

Our challenges may be new. The instruments with which we meet them may be new. But those values upon which our success depends – hard work and honesty, courage and fair play, tolerance and curiosity, loyalty and patriotism – these things are old. These things are true. They have been the quiet force of progress throughout our history. What is demanded then is a return to these truths. What is required of us now is a new era of responsibility – a recognition, on the part of every American, that we have duties to ourselves, our nation, and the world, duties that we do not grudgingly accept but rather seize gladly, firm in the knowledge that there is nothing so satisfying to the spirit, so defining of our character, than giving our all to a difficult task.

Today was a Sweet day Indeed!!
