Training was great the last three days. Motorpacing Thursday was extremely difficult and very close to the hardest workout I have ever done. I've only ever motorpaced behind a car before and that was way too easy compared to riding behind Matters Honda Spree moped. We were out there for an hour and I was completely wasted when we got back. Afterwards I had to ride 15 miles into a headwind to pick up my parents car at the shop and I could only ride at about 75 watts and then I bonked really really hard I was so wasted.
I was great though, motorpacing that is, I was riding above my threshold for most of it and then anytime there was a hill or strong wind I'd be struggling just to get back on Brian's wheel and then I'd have to recover back at threshold. Good stuff I tell ya.
I was told I've got a much better chance of making the team now than I did a week ago so that is my motivation to get through 5 more days of riding. The weather has been amazing too so it's been much easier in that respect.
I wonder if anyone else is motorpacing in January?

I agree with the Spinergy wheels. I am 6-8" (a lean 235lbs) and they were the strongest and straight running wheels I ever owned. I still have them in my garage and use them on my commuter bike.
