Say What? Peaking?

My default training interval photo for all the posts about working out.

Crushed it on the Treasure Trail yesterday! Felt like a freakin’ gazelle – even during the aerobic threshold run (which, let’s be honest, usually feels more like dragging an anvil uphill). Now, some folks might point the finger at the Carbo Rocket (you know, that “miracle fuel” everyone’s raving about), but here’s the kicker: my numbers were supposed to be chilling in the low 130 bpm range. Turns out, after I dug into the data, 145 is my new threshold. Mind. Blown. That’s, like, 13 beats higher than WORLDS! Talk about peaking at the wrong time… (cue dramatic music).

But hey, gotta roll with the punches, right? So, today’s all about embracing the “Skill Day” in my training plan. Think of it as my personal playground – and my trusty Turner Flux is the swing set. We’re talking smooth flats, epic climbs, twisty descents, the whole shebang. Smooth surfaces? Done. Rough terrain? You betcha. Even testing out this standin’ thing – gotta master every skill, ya know? SportTracks better be ready for the data avalanche I’m unleashing. Seriously, I geek out on this stuff more than a kid in a candy store.

Speaking of geeking out, remember that iPhone I’ve been obsessing over? Well, thanks to the legend at Mum’s Wireless, I’m officially on the waiting list! He even hooked me up with a sweet plan – 25 bucks a month, with plenty of Wi-Fi and Skype to fill in the gaps. Big ups to Mum’s, yo! They get it.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have a date with my bike, a trail, and a whole lot of data to conquer. Wish me luck (and maybe send some virtual energy drinks my way – this “peaking” thing might need a little boost ).
