As winter fades away and spring arrives delivering beautiful, warmer weather, many riders are starting to look at their first races on the calendar for 2014, the first will be the Troy Bayliss Classic. Some feel confident, others begin to panic. Transitioning from the base period into a race specific build can be daunting. Gone are the days of longer, moderate workouts to build your aerobic capacity. In their place are workouts with intervals to be done at specific intensities, heart rate goals to hit and maybe specific heart rate zones to hold on the bike for the entire race duration.
