Official 2012 start

Officially started my 2012 training today! Almost hit the snooze button, but decided against it. I averaged 200 watts on the spinning bike today. My goal is to practice pacing during the week, with a cadence of 100 rpm to work on leg speed, then focus on strength during the weekends with lots of hills. I may go up to 250 watts and eventually 300 watts during the week, but I want to make sure I can maintain 100 rpm and not completely exhaust myself. Gradual progress. I am also starting to lift weights, twice a week. My plan is to do 3 sets of 20 reps. I will do dead leg lifts, step ups (roughly 1.5-2'), and body weight side lunges. Last year, lifting really helped my hamstrings stay loose.
