Snowing in Fort Collins
Yup, it is snowing in Fort Collins and though we need the water desperately it makes for terrible riding conditions. So, I'm at the Bean Cyclery drinking delicious coffee and taking care of neglected emails and catching up on posts.
I went to Denver on Wednesday to do some testing with Inigo San Millan. He has worked with all of the top name professional cyclist that exist today. In his office is a signed authentic yellow jersey that belonged to Alberto Contador and all it says is "Gracias Inigo".
Inigo's testing protocol was a ramp up test that increased in ten minute increments using watts per kilogram to determine resistance. For example I weigh about 68kilo's and so I started out at about 2.o watts per kilo. I ramped it up over the next 58 min to 5.5 watts per kilo in increments of .5. Inigo then compares your blood lactate at certain power to weight levels to other athletes that he has tested in the world. I don't have official results yet but they were very positive. "Alex, you have an engine, and now you must work very hard" Inigo San Millan.
