I wasn't looking forward to this workout. I wasn't in the mood for sprints. I wanted to ride, it's just I didn't feel like doing much high intensity stuff. My body was feeling pretty fatigued. I was pretty close to just skipping the sprints. I was prescribed two set of 2-4 30 sec. uphill sprints.
I managed to will myself to do the minimum, two sets of two. I didn't put out too much power, but I felt like I was able to get some decent speed going uphill. The hill I chose was Sand Hill Rd in Palo Alto. My coach always used this road as an example for the type of hill for these workouts, so I thought I'd give it a try.
It was not the safest place to do a workout. It's a heavily traveled road, especially during rush hour which is when I was out there.
I realized I need to work on my jump from low speeds. It was difficult to figure out which gear to jump in. I'll post my workout stats later once I have a chance to go over the data. A quick check on my SRM showed I didn't even break 1000watts. However, that doesn't mean I didn't hold 900watts for the whole 30 seconds ;)
