Updates: nothing is happening...and that's a good thing!
It's been slow, steady build-up since the start of the year with solid base miles and plenty of longer threshold intervals thrown in the mix as of lately to build back my usual Diesel cardiovascular engine I had lost in 2014. Averaging about 7-12hrs/wk at this point. I expect the load to go upwards of 20+hrs/wk in the coming 2 months.
I spent a weekend in Bend recently and gathered some good altitude in the legs to kickstart a good early Spring. With the weather being remarkably mild the ability to get out on the roads and come back without a shit-covered butt is a nice thing. A new position on the bike has made things substantially better as well. The days are finally getting long enough for morning or evening rides with minimal additional lighting.
More updates in the coming months but until then it's a matter of patience and consistency to return to form.
