how to prepare for winter tri...without winter

or Maine the winter of 2006/2007.

So it looks like 1/14 will be my first day on snow (unless I get to N Boulder park on 1/13) so in lieu of actual specific training, I have my "KP's Snow less Winter" sets here in 45 degree Maine.

Done as :

4 x (6min on the treadmill at 6min pace, quick transition to 8min on the trainer at 40K TT watts ~285w, finish with 3min of double stretch cords) with 4min easy jog recovery.

As of now, even the rollerskiing is screwed as there is a lot of gravel and salt on the road.
