Hey folks – Anyone planning to ride tomorrow? I’ll be at the Gtown stop at 7:30 and then we’ll pick up some of the elite team folks from Glen Echo as we go!

Hi Mark – was Cardozo track open normal hours for you last week?
Over the past two weeks I’ve tried to go to Wilson (maintenance), Roosevelt (maintenance), and then I tried Cardozo last Friday around 6pm and it was closed. Thx!
Thanks everyone! I used Joseph’s suggestion for Quick Spit and had perfect visibility for the swim at Kinetic this weekend. If only I had put it on my bike visor as well maybe I could have had a fog free day, but next time!
Thanks Joseph! I’ve seen a couple of different takes in terms of how far in advance to apply Quick Spit. Do you spray, leave for about 30 seconds, rinse and then swim immediately?
Thanks AJ. I hadn’t realized a 1,000 meter T-pace swim was coming up and I was a bit confused by the Athlete’s guide. There is a chart on page 17 that has zones based on the 1,000 meter T-pace (e.g., Zone 3 is T-pace), but then in the description of the 200/800 test it describes the 800 pace as Zone 2. That seemed counter-intuitive as I would have guessed that the 800 time would be faster than the 1,000 time.
More importantly – looking through the training plan it looks like the focus is on T-pace or else fast/slow, so that’s all I needed to know!
Another clarification question on running plan. The description says:
4 x medium distance hill repeat focusing on pushing the uphill speed (but keeping it consistent).
Does medium distance mean 2-3 minutes or more like 4-5 minutes (or meter equivalent)?
