My time is AUS is slowly coming to an end. I've been here a little over 2 
months now, and I have finally come to the end of the base miles part of my training. Tuesday was the first day I was "allowed" to go a little harder. And so it was that I ran a little fitness test up the local 6km climb of Montville to see how I've come out of my base faze.
The results were quite pleasing. Having done zero efforts and just ridden base for a couple months, I was happy to put out 350 watts up the 6km climb (which usually takes somewhere between 15 and 20 mins). So the training is paying off. Hopefully I'll progress just as well through the next faze of my training before going to the United States and eventually being fit for some races in France right at the end of May and through June.

The Montville climb offers a good testing round
I'm currently having an easy week, which has worked out well because this week is turning out to be a little wet. But overall I have to say I'm happy with the start of the season thus far.
An easy week fits in well with a week of rain
