power meter

Power meter. I never knew that you could actually benefit from having one. I know for sure some people purchase them just as a status.
Well, once again I’m very blessed, Alan Lim and TIAA-Cref hooked me up with one. A nice one too, but I think the heart rate strap was used, I almost licked it, and saw that it had white stuff wedged between the grooves on the strap.

I took it out yesterday for the first time and my goal was to see my max watts. I did it on the bike trail riding to Redondo Beach. I hit 1250w in the saddle. I don’t know of that’s good, but when I talk to coach I’m sure he will tell me.

All I can think about is racing in January, doing the Tour Qatar. I’m looking forward to this like the birth of my child. However I was more nervous when I got married.

Tomorrow will be a big day for me, about 6 1/2 hours. I’m going to leave around 6:30am and head North up the coast to Topanga cyn road and take that over to the Simi Valley ride. Do the ride and head back home. I have done this ride one time and it’s a long day. I hope the weather holds up, because we are scheduled to get rain today and tomorrow.
