Time on the trainer is pretty boring. The most interesting part is drawing figures with your sweat on the ground.
I slacked off this month compared to last. Spent about 8 less hours on the bike. Climbed 11,000 feet less. I guess I can attribute that to taking two Saturdays off.

Training has otherwise been going well. I am starting to see a difference in how I feel on the bike. My lactate threshold has increased to 182 bpm.
We’ll see how the next month goes. I’ll be spending the first 10 days off the bike due to a vacation. Maybe I’ll get real good at running or doing lunges during that time. Or maybe it’s a good time some recovery and more core work.
In any case, I’ll be hitting the trails hard when I do get back. Only 6 weeks till the final 12 Hours of Temecula!

September already. Where has the summer gone?
Started my training program for the November 12 Hours of Temecula. I’ve learned a few things so far.
- My lactate threshold is 179
- My left leg barely contributes to my pedaling stroke
- AE Intervals suck
I did spend a lot more time on a bike this past month, practically double the amount in July.

Onto August already. July was actually a down month for me. Spent some days traveling for business. Doing more group rides.
Guess I’ll just take July as my “break”. Going to start ramping up for the 12 Hours of Temecula in November soon enough.
