May Training

May 2: set out to ride the Passo di Gavia a classic Italian pass, but the Fortius system stopped after 20 minutes and 3.7k; Fortius was to prove very flaky which took almost a month to find out the solution.
May 3: Massage.
May 4: 3 hour ride around Hahei and Hot Water Beach circuit from Ferry Landing. 60k 3hours.
May 5: Recovery ride around town.
May 6: Gym. Finished the Stair Climb 10 minutes first time, 50 floors. 
May 9: Two repeats over Manaia Hill, 689 m climbing 33.4k 2 hrs.
May 11: Gym. 10 min stair climb, 50 floors in 9.55mins.
May 13: From Ferry landing to Tairua with three climbs of Tairua Hill.
May 15: Leg warmer 21 km
May 17: Gym 10 min stair climb 50 floors in 9.50mins, time to move to harder set of objectives.
May 19: 30k sprinting and two 5k time trials.
May 21: Whitianga to Tairua 82k 4 hours
May 23: Gym. New harder plan.
May 24: Massage
May 26: Cyclocore Six Classic Hill climbs
May 28: Fortius problem may have been a wiring connection to the motor. Set out to do the Alpine Classic- Telegraph-Galibier-Alp d'Huez. Got as far as Col du Lautaret and got bored with the prospect of another 30k downhill. Anyway a big boost to be able to ride to Col du Lautaret non-stop in 2h 55 min. 
May 30. Mt Venoux from Malaucene non-stop in 2hr 15min.
So the month of May resulted in a lot more power in legs, I can sustain 200 watts for longer on repeated 1 minute efforts after 2mins at 150 watts. The downside is I am absolutely bombed out after 3 hours non-stop climbing.
