Subject: RE: Dangremond's April 2009 Mentor TEAM - CLOSED (WE'RE BUSY WORKIN' IT!)I like the Triathlete's Training Bible and another book, Triathlon Revolution by Terri Schneider. Great for beginners and intermediates. She is terrific. Talks basics and then spends time on the mental game. Grace, you would like her. She is online too. Do a goggle. But, the book is a good read and quick. There is also another one, My First Triathlon. I am getting ready after my first two races this summer to read - Going Long. I did a bike drill in a chilly rain last night. 3X 15 mins @ 95 FTP, nearly at anaerobic. But things went haywire. I did the first at 100%, then 1`3 mins into the second I had a flat - a tiny pebble has stuck to the rear tire due to the rain and worked through. I changed it and was short on time so I decided to come back to town all the way as hard as I could go. I would up at 28 mins at 100%. I suspect my coach is going to start suggesting we raise my FTP wattage again. I'm getting stronger. That is a cool thing. |
