TT Intervals and Trash Talkin’

In preparation for Littlefoot this weekend Jones and I set out to do TT Intervals at Bear Creek.  After steam rolling Jones by a full 2 seconds on the bike leg this past weekend at Barking Dog I came into the the workout ready to dominate.  Hoping to dig the knife a little deeper I spent about 1/3 of our trainer ride on Sunday reminding Jordan of those 2 precious seconds.  Unfortunately Jordan does not lay down easy.  Today we did 4 x 5min hard TT intervals with about 5min easy spin between each.  We went with a 10 second send off and tookturns with who got to chase.  For the first three it was essentially a dead heat until the last one when Jordan passed me like I was standing still and took back much more than his 2 seconds.  Under my breath (Jordan even went for a 5th one).

TT intervals are one of my favorite workouts, my legs are hurtin’, but the fitness gains are tremendous and they were great practice for this weekend.  Watts for the intervals were 309, 346, 310, and 317.

More importantly however is has my trash talkin’ helped me for this weekend?  Sure Jordan took some time back from me today, but then again maybe I was bluffing.  Tune in this Sunday to see chapter 3 of what I hope will be  a book full of battles.

And Josh I’m calling you out also!  Last weekend was incredible, but I’m planning on taking you down in two out of the three this weekend.  Is there any way I can get a 3 minute lead on you and Jones heading into T2?????
