I know, you're shocked. And you have every right to be. But no, no training.
Okay, I've ridden my bike, and spun twice, but that's all. C-grade here I come! No. 6 weeks of training should get me back up to the bum-end of B-Grade, I'm sure. Yay.
Ah well. I've moved house and restarted my life, at least.

Spin #1... again
Well, what better place to get back on the spin than the start, huh? I'm not going to record them in detail here, because they're kinda boring. But, for this one, I'll give a baseline, 2 months from the first race...
Effort Max RPM
:00 E1
:05 2 x 6s HCLR:1 186/190
:10 8s 61" (80) 174
:12 8s 66" RS(80) 176
:14 8s 68" RS(80) 175
:16 8s 73" RS(80) 164
:18 8s 82" RS(80) 167
:20 8s 87" RS(80) 163
:22 8s 93" RS(80) 160
:24 8s 100" RS(80) 151
:26 6s BGSS (53x13, 107" L) 154
:28 6s BGSS (53x12, 116" R) -
:30 8s PG+8 (116")RS(40, seat) 139
:32 8s PG+8 (116")RS (40, seat) 131
:36 18s PG r/up (6:100, 6:130, 6:max) -
Which is a modified-according-to--my-gears-and-trainer version of this programme.
So my PG is 53x14, 100 (or 99.5) inches. Interestingly enough, last time I was actually doing spin properly, my PG was 53x15, 93". Significance? NFI, none probably.
BGSSes were meant to be seated but I forgot, so did them standing. First went fine, but when I put it up in to 53x12 for the second, my chain popped off again. Not surprising, really, since I've done no maintenance since it last happened! Will have to do it if I'm to continue spinning though... anyway, 154RPM, 79.7, also compares favourably to my results last year.
116"RSes, top of 139RPM... compared to a top of 135RPM in a 99" RS 10 months ago.
Curious. But all meaningless. Point is to spin, and see how my fitness improves. You'll notice that I didn't record a result for the final rampup - too busy hovering in the bathroom, waiting for something to happen.
Didn't though. Next step - back on the track.
