My hr. requirement continues to trend down. I'm surprised to see the downward trend as dramatic as it appears. My experience with running is that I have a much slower response to training load. Next week will be a bit more challenging with a scheduled 6 hour ride. We had our first snow of the year this past weekend, necessitating the long trainer ride. I've done one 6 hour trainer ride in the past, so I'm prepared to do it if necessary. Fortunately it immediately warmed up again to good weather. Lets hope not!!!!

Fantastic race in Kona...congrats to all of the athletes.
