Another week of no sugar, no flour
It seemed to work so well last week that I'm going to update with my food and exercise diary again this week. And yes, still no sugar, no flour. But no anniversary this weekend - just Easter instead... and the end of Lent.
I've been working out my TRIMP score for my training sessions and will be upping the intensity this week - this is especially convenient since its a bank holiday weekend this weekend so the morning session can be a solid 2 hours with a long ride in the afternoon on a couple of the days.
I'm gonna do another RAMP test at the end of the week and compare the Tacx with the Powertap - should help to provide an accurate and realisic assessment of how far away from the 292 FTP I am for July 3rd. Gulp.
