Auburn Hilly 23
It was sunny and 60°F on This Wednesday in January. Gerard R., Tracy H. and Shari J. all met in front of the Auburn City Hall at 11:30-ish AM and rolled out for a short ride. There was an agenda for Tracy and myself, we had "Form Sprints" on the workout schedule. Form Sprints are like the real thing but short 10-15 seconds and downhill or with tailwind. The idea is to practice the form and feel the speed but not to cook your legs too bad, yet. Tracy nailed 'em. Gerard was on a fixed-gear bike so he was mostly just watching. Shari jumped in and played with us a few times, got to hand it to her she's pretty darn good. The Form Sprint intervals are clearly visible on the HRM data graph, you can see the 7 or 8 spikes in speed and heart rate with several minute recovery in between sprints.
I had mapped out the route the night before and decided it was a pretty good route, so here's the PDF of it for future reference.
