3 x 20 mins on the turbo (Kylie) requires a little bit of specialist attention. Its a slightly different beast from a nailed on 2 x 20. If you hit it too hard on the first interval you'll be floundering by the second and the 3rd twenty minute interval will be spent recovering on the sofa for the rest of the night.
In contrast if you go to easy you might as well be reading the paper and sipping a glass of wine. It should feel hard and the last twenty should just be manageable. I think I pitched it just right. The 'feelometer' register around 90% of my maximum effort. The turbo naturally warms up after 30 mins so things always feel a touch easier. To counter this I changed up the gears 53/17-53/15 to make sure I that I was still pushing hard on the pedals. It felt pretty good in the end so I reckon I'll try another one on Thursday or Friday.
Here's some footage from the first Road Stage (proper) of the 2007 TDF. Ladies and Gentlemen Robbie Mac (see 5 mins) is one bad muthafucker. Oh and look out for some little British Kid in Pink throwing a fit. Who would've guessed he'd win four stages in this years tour(08).
