The Omnium is one of my favorite workouts.
Did you enjoy the last 40 seconds before the recovery? The sprint at the end?

If it is any consolation, I think it was one of the workouts that @Coach.Neal.H tweaked to make it a little easier.

Haha I am not sure if I depleted those reserves, But I have to say, I did was close that close to blacking out at one point.

I completed the final sprint but had to call it quits with 1 minute and 15 seconds left in the session as I was really feeling it in the tummy. :face_vomiting:

Well, “Half is easy” :upside_down_face: and I thought the MTB session was tough.

Oh, I actually tasted my homemade waffle and the cup of hot Milo after the final sprint and I was telling myself, “hey this can’t be right” :sweat_smile:
The last time I had this feeling was years ago, but was actually a bonk and that felt terrible too.

I rode 14VG today and then looked a little closer at my calendar and saw that my plan had it in there for about 10 days from now. Oops!

Rode and destroyed 14VG today. Forgot how much fun the competition was. And the last time I rode it was pre-pandemic.

14VG is one of those great MAP efforts…great to have in the rear-view mirror, anyways.

Glad I made it. :hot_face:

Going on holidays so finished up for the badge. As a FTP/Time trial guy earning this badge was tough.
Vise Grips and Ominum kicked my V02 butt! The MTB race hurt due the power fluctuations! I found the BMX’rs interesting. I had no idea they could generare that wattage!

Three down. Still love the BMX vid, while dreaming of the WCC/CMC. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

But yeah, sorry coach: rest assured that BMX is not “war”.

:thinking: :face_with_raised_eyebrow: :roll_eyes:

(sorry, personal and professional peeve).
