After a tough and disheartening cross race at Discovery Park, it's time to re-start cross training. On Tuesday, it's uphill dismounts at a casual pace. Ride uphill for 30 minutes while dismounting, running for 10 seconds, remounting, and getting up to speed again, repeat every 2 minutes. At this early stage of training, it's about form and not killing yourself. On Thursday, 1.5 hour ride on flat terrain with plenty of short, moderate intensity, intervals/dismounts. The short interval/dismounts will start from a complete stop, ramp up to maximum speed, maintain speed for a bit, slam on brakes for a dismount, remount and buildup to speed, maintain speed, and then recover and repeat many times. The purpose of this workout is to simulate going into barriers and exiting with acceleration, and also, going into hairpin 180 turns and exiting with acceleration.
