Don't stop pushing

Here we are, just 44 days until I leave for New Hampshire and start my coast to coast ride! Now, as far as competiting,.. This year I have done 1 crit and 1 TT, and that will most likely be the end of my competitions until at least the fall, if I can locate a bike for cyclocross season. But that doesn't mean that I am stopping my push to be faster, I am still doing a group ride every Tuesday (and will be trying to do Saturdays when I can), not to mention I need the endurance for 375 miles a week this summer.
Because of that, I am still out doing intervals, this week I did two consecutive days of them.. Thursday and Friday I went out and did a 3.5 mile warmup followed by three 2:30 max intervals with a 1:15 cooldown in between and then a nice 10 minute cooldown spin home. My goal was to keep my cadence above 95 for the intervals and above 100 for the cooldowns.
These intervals are hard, they are not "fun" in the way most people would see it.. but cyclists know that feeling of suffering and embrace it. So here is the data for those two days:

Then Saturday I did a nice easy 18 mile ride (with lots of wind added for fun) before heading over to Nat's for Cinco de Mayo which was fun!

Today however, is a rest day! As for fundraising, everyday I get closer but I still need a lot to go, so please donate if you are able to!

The rest of the week was also fun, I went out on a few assignments for the Press. First I shot a pre-prom assembly at MTHS, I did a profile on a local business, Ella's Good to Go/Bliss Ice Cream, and then I shot an awards ceremony for MTHS Mock Trial who won the county competitions this year (a team which I was on all the way back in 2006!).
