Ergometer syndrome part II

It appears that, like Y2K worries, erg' syndrome was really nothing to get all excited about. After one week of higher intensity training, it appears to be vanquished. I'll probably stick with higher intensity training but skip L6 workouts until closer to racing time.



An L6 workout on a popular local hill that assuaged my fears. This was just my 2nd L6 workout and I was already rivaling my best times and powers from last season.

In addition, my L5 workouts confirmed that L5 power hadn't suffered and had actually improved a bit. Considering how rapidly I regained my short steep hill climbing ability, I'm fairly certain that erg' syndrome was mostly a neuromuscular problem.
