Well, I reconfirmed what I have felt for much time now... I HATE STANDING IN THE SADDLE. It kills and burns my quads which my coach calls a "deficiency". The entire hour I kept thinking and occasionally saying "I'm not doing this during the race. I'm staying in the saddle!"

I did the drills and mind you, we rode for an hour and probably only went 7-10 miles (my cadence sensor battery has died and I need to replace it). Then afterwards we did 30 minutes of strength or what I'd call "let me show you how angry and weak I am"!!
I told my coach, "I am really getting angry at you right now". At least she stopped coaching me and stepping away from in front of me (as I was doing one leg Roman dead lifts). Afterwards, she made sure to tell me that "I'm really not that weak and I was doing a good job". I think she saw that I was about to punch a hole in a wall.
