Elklhorn Classic Stage Race - Intro

Since Kern County, I've been getting in some fantastic training.  I was going through a phase where I felt like crap all of the time, but over the past 2.5 weeks, my numbers have gone way up.  Since the biggest goal of my season is Canadian Nats July 4-5, I'm pretty stoked to be peaking lately.  I'm also (finally) dialed in my TT fit, mostly thanks to this: http://www.blackwellresearch.com/ism_seats.htm.  Don't make fun of it -- it's brilliant.  Of course my pedal efficiency on that bike is still awful.  Yesterday at Damon's lab (he's moved btw -- check out http://www.aroadbike4u.com/) I had to struggle to keep it in the very low 60s.  Oh well.  The wattage is up, so that's good. In fact, during a sprint session last week I hit 1256!!  Coach D quickly pointed out that being able to spike wattage is useless, but I feel studly nonetheless (I'll have to post a quad shot soon to give a visual for my studliness.)
