Twelve weeks till Lodi

Lodi is twelve weeks away and I am about to start a serious block of training leading into the race. I bought one of Lynda's 12 week plans and a Garmin Edge 305 GPS/heart rate monitor.

The plan has me on the bike five days a week, with Mondays and Fridays off. The off-days will allow for recovery from previous mini block of riding. I'll be doing higher intensity work during the week( T - Th) and longer duration endurance work on Saturday/Sunday. By week 12 I should be a beast, ready to scare the townspeople at Lodi, or at least finish mid pack (hopefully).

I got out for a road ride yesterday and I worked at The Bike Lane today, we had a steady flow of customers and it felt great to be selling bikes again. I probably won't be back there "on the regular" until April though, which is fine by me. I think Saturdays there will be pretty conveinient for training as the longer of the two weekend rides is Sunday.

Later!
