Progress?

So last week was my rest/test week again. I'm pretty pleased with my progress in the swim and run, but the bike fell apart. My coach thinks something may have been amiss with the equipment or testing set up.
Here are results from the last two time trials.
Swim (1000 yards):
Date Time T-pace Difference
3/29/2007 18:37.5 01:51.8 00:02.7
3/1/2007 19:04.8 01:54.5 00:04.8

Bike (computrainer):
Date Minutes Max Exertion Max Power Max HR
3/30/2007 8 18 210 175
3/2/2007 10 19 250 173

Run (2 miles):
Date Distance Total Time Pace Avg HR Max HR
4/1/2007 2 mi 17:46 8:52 173 181
3/4/2007 2.01 mi 18:41 9:18 159 179

So...what the f*&! happened in my bike test? I have a hard time believing that I totally bombed the bike test and showed reasonable improvement in the other to.
Good news is the weather has decide to think about warming up. It's still cold, but actually saw some temps in the 40's last week, so maybe there is hope.
The biggest problem these days is overcoming some inner demons. But, what doesn't kill us only makes us stronger, right?
Making it happen....

  2. YOU ARE DOING GREAT!
    My experience with the computrainer as a testing tool is similar. I think it's a great training tool but even my coach is a sceptic on the testing perameters.
    Don't sweat the bike anyway, it's the quickest thing to come back fast and strong. I'll bet you slam it next time.
