Today I rode the hilly section of the stg Ironman course on the trainer.  With the new 11-28 cassette the two steepest hills are rideable but get so steep my cadence slows down to 67-75 rpm, at which point I have to get out of the saddle and stand up.  My wattage at the slower cadance and standing up is in the 210-235 range.  I think these two step hills are rideable without having to go to a compact crank, which is the direction I'm looking at going right now.  (Even though, I'd love to have a compact with the 36/52 ring setup, but I'm going to hold off on spending more money on the bike right now.)

Brent, The training is going good. I've just had a hard time keeping the blog up to date. It's now up to date through Saturday's work outs.

I did run into some trouble with my right calf a week ago while completing a 2 hour run. Just over an hour into the run I felt a pain through the middle section, about an inch wide, of my right calf. It felt like I'd pulled the muscle right through the middle of my calf.

Luckily it didn't seem to be affected much by the long ride the day after, and with the Sunday rest it was starting to feel better before workouts started again on Monday. For the Tuesday run I took it a little easier just to be safe. It seems to be back to normal now.
