That is even more impressive than your usual silliness, Sir @Glen.Coutts.

Been a busy day. 4 of 44 done. Tried to do a session at 70% for some recovery, but that kilo section and the sprints are still not recovery even at 70%.

Finished number 7/44 this morning.

Today was a strength day, so I tried to see how I could make it a low cadence GOAT/Power Station type workout. Started fiddling with the numbers a bit to see how to best work that.
AC: 70%
FTP: 75%

Started with Map at 80%. Turned it up before the 4k Pursuit to 85%. And then afterward turned it to 90%. Tried to lower my cadence for all MAP and AC sections to around 50-65rpms. Worked best when MAP was 90%, tho that would’ve made the Pursuit more difficult than planned since it’s more than just a 30-90 minute effort. Glad I did it at 85%.

For the 4k Pursuit section I started from a dead stop as called for, then pushed it up quickly to 95rpms, then slowly let the cadence slow down to around 65rpms, then quickly pushed it back up to 95rpms, then slowly let my cadence drop back down to 65rpms again. Did that 3 times before I ended with a quick push of my cadence back to 100rpms.

@emacdoug, I do not know if it is any discomfort for you, but currently, the Omnium has been reduced to 4 events. GvA may complain, but they no longer do the kilo.

Three trips around The Omnium this morning (8, 9, 10 of 44). 75% for the first two, 80% for the last. Was much better mentally when riding along with the crew on the morning Knight Ride. Thank you all for the great company and chatter!

Speaking of - I’m going to miss #2 today. Hopefully my six can carry on w/o me!

hehe. You said #2!

I missed this morning cuz I got up late, I’m missing this afternoon cuz I got other plans. This might actually be the end of my Zwiftng for the season, but we will see what the weather does (and if my sub expires).

Rode numbers 11 & 12 yesterday. 80% both times. Then the sun went dark for a bit. Or maybe that was just from the lava clouds obscuring the sun?

Today was number 13 at a bit more of a Z2 effort to try to recover, along with some strength work and yoga.

Rode The Omnium #14 and 15 this morning. Both at 75%. Tomorrow is another single Omnium day back at 100%.

Still not yet even close to halfway. This month feels like an eternity.

I guess this means you’re not planning to do a couple more, for the road, in May?

Definitely not. Because I’m on track (see what I did there) to exceed my annual Omnium quota in April.
