I flipped through some of my workout logs from previous seasons. There are some numbers that summarize my progression.
Tackle the Tower has been a good indicator of my fitness at the start of the season, and a good predictor of my season:
- 2006 Tackle the Tower -- 9:25
- 2007 Tackle the Tower -- 7:20
- 2009 Tackle the Tower -- 6:51
This year I'm shooting for a sub 6 minute time. In 2006, I wouldn't have thought that possible.
My Kirtland Chardon TT follows the same trajectory.
- 2006 Season Best -- 9:19
- 2007 Season Best -- 8:20
- 2008 Season Best -- 9:20 (my knee recovery season)
- 2009 Season Best -- 7:40
My sprinting has steadily declined, which is kind of surprising since sprinting and the flying kilometer are my two favorite cycling activities. My best effort in 2007 was 38.6 mph on my sprint test track on Bass Lake Road. I don't think I've been over 35 mph in a sprint in the past two seasons, even with a lead out, so that's a focus for 2010.
