You know how I can tell? Cause I'm typing. And although they say that your fingernails keep growing after you're dead I'm pretty sure they don't type by themselves.
I also know I'm not dead because I wore my heart rate monitor during my bike test today, and it showed a reading every time I checked.
I also know I'm not dead because of the results of the test. I'm not 100% sure what to make of it yet, and as such I was very reluctant to actually enter the result into my program sheet. Whatever result you enter on test days, automatically establishes the intensity of the workouts for the next 5 weeks.
I could cheat and enter a different number but the nuns always told me that I would only be cheating myself, so I finally entered it as achieved.
But there in lies the problem. If I can refresh your memory my first test resulted in a CP30 score of 172. Then 5 weeks later I had increased it to a whopping 181. Today, at the end of week 10, I was pretty confident I could achieve 190.
As I usually do I tried to get a good start and I was initially over 200 hundred but slipping slowly back. I was worried that I had started out too quickly but I was hanging in at 203 for a while so I just kept plugging away....then suddenly it was at 204....205...206...207! Holy shit!
I finished my 30 minute test at an average of 210 watts, an average cadence of 95, and an average heart rate of 146. Un-freakin.believable!!!
But like I said, this now becomes a problem. The workouts for the next 5 weeks just got a whole lot harder. Let's see how it goes eh.
Long run tomorrow. God and my right leg willing.
Love
Peter
