Oh man. Just watched the replay. Try to avoid seeing who wins and watch the last 35ish minutes. Awesome race.

Milan San Remo

The jump in new road bikes is crazy. The wider tires are so much more comfortable. And the frames and wheels are also considerably more aero. It really does take a lot less watts to go just as fast. Did you have the option for lightweight or aero? I think the old difference is the handlebars.

For me, sweet spot is hard to recover from. I went through a few years of TrainerRoad before figuring that out. My last coach had me do a ton of z2 and a light went off. 1 day of intervals a week, sometimes 2, but they were never anywhere near as hard as TR intervals. My FTP didn’t go up...

I usually add it to my drink mix which is basically sugar. So I don’t bother.

just fyi, The homemade stuff doesn’t taste as good but it does work the same. It really just tastes like mildly salty water. But I use sodium citrate so I think that makes a difference. If you use sodium chloride it may taste way saltier.

Yep. And when some guys retire they get faster.

Did anybody watch the US against Venezuela? Watching Team USA felt like every Yankee Playoff game since... 2010? It's like they go from assuming the next guy in the lineup will get it done to having this absurd amount of pressure and choking. Seriously, I thought Aaron Boone was managing...

I agree. Speaking from experience, and specifically about me…. I’ll take the fitness from 8 hours of z2 over 5 hours of intervals from whatever online app or plan. It’s not really even close. Maybe I had to get to a certain fitness level for that to be the case but that’s my reality now.

You beat me to it. But… I have the annoying jingle

I never did but I can imagine its from the high levels of sodium or the citrus in LMNT. That stuff is strong AF. You can always try lower doses of the above recipe.
