RAW Training Week 9

This week is building again after a rest week. 

The big challenge was to ride indoors on the trainers for 6 hours on Saturday and 2hours and 10 minutes on Sunday. 

On Saturday I broke down the workout into 2 pieces. 

3 hours on the rollers @ 90-95 cadence @ 130-135 heart rate. 

3 hours on the Computrainer with the (DAMP) chamois.  

Always a pleasure to ride with (D)ean (A)dam and (M)ike and me (P)eter. 

Sunday

2 hour 10 minutes on my TT bike on the rollers. 

130 heart rate for the duration of the workout. 

Race Across the West - 860 miles non-stop

It's official I've entered RAW, an ultra endurance bike race from Oceanside California to Durango Colorado. 

The race Starts June 14 2016. 

The race is an 860 mile non stop event. 

I have entered as a Solo competitor. 

This endurance event is the biggest thing I have ever attempted in my quest to find the limit or what I define as freedom. 

In order to complete the challenge I have decided to go pro. 

I have hired one of the most experienced ultra cyclists in the country 2 time RAAM finisher Peter Oyler from Mindset Cycling to coach and get me to the finish line. 

I'm into the training 7 weeks already and feel great under his wing. 

I'll be posting the details on what it takes to get to the start line, financially, training and form a sacrifice perspective.
