Response from my coach on today's training -

GREAT!!  I think it looks good and it looks like you really got the HR up!!  It takes a little time finding the "perfect" hill, right length and grade, but REALLY the most important part is not a number, but that you are pushing hard and working your legs, heart, lungs and getting used to some pain :-)

Also, I seriously wouldn't worry about checking your HR while riding.  On these intervals, just push as hard as you can, and you can just look at the data after for info.  Using HR is good, but ultimately getting tuned in to your body is more important than what some HR monitor says.  I think listening to your body is more reliable, it's good for me to see the garmin info as it helps communicating to you what to do, but in the race, it will be all YOU, and learning when to push and when you might have to back down is VERY important!!!

Anyway, I think you did a fabulous job!!!!  

Do you think you would like to try the LA test next week?  Did you get the info I sent?  It is totally up to you!  You can try it, and if you don't feel comfortable that's fine.  It will be a great workout anyway, pushing very hard (time trial) for 30 minutes!!!

This saturday, would you be ok with doing the exact same ride as last weekend, or do you have plans to ride with friends.  If you do, that is totally fine, then I will have you do same ride NEXT weekend.  I would like to have you do the same ride, and try figuring out how you can shave time off.  Maybe riding SLIGHTLY faster, stopping slightly less, pushing one gear harder in certain spots.  This will help you figure out how to ride more efficient, save energy and still be faster without killing yourself.  You can do it this, or next weekend :=)

Awesome job on the intervals!!!

Lou - lol - well, i tried and i worked hard - 

Decided on road bike - fussed with the garmin setting up another bike and i have cadence on road bike -
my hill was not long enough and a little steep 
but once i went down the other side i saw i could come up the other way and it was not as steep so i was faster and then down the other side and back up for steeper 
you can see my HR flying around anyway!
once i was warmed up, i just did not want to stop - almost decided to ride to your house! lol --
but i know i need to not to do that - once i get on a roll, i want to keep on rolling. 

trying to watch for cars and my HR and time, etc was a little getting used to -but i am getting better in my one afternoon trying this -
i will find longer hill - but this hill Franklin up and down the other side is nice when i don't have as much time with work because it's close to home.
I may try Inglewood climb - just will ask Marwan how i can get there.
But bottom line you were right - those hill repeats kick your ass!!!!!!!
lol
