Big Workout - Last morning in Denver so I took advantage of the bike trail for one more day. The goal was warmup - 1 mile tinman tempo then 6x3 min at CV pace (estimate at 5:40) with 1 min rest in-between then finish with 1 more mile of tt. It didn't go as well as I hoped due to major fatigue, but I did my best. I went: 5 miles warmup (7:20-7:37 ave) 1 mile tempo - 6:22 rolling up
Rep 1: 5:43 pace - rolling
Rep 2: 5:53 pace - rolling up
Rep 3: 5:55 pace - rolling up Rep 4: 5:50 pace - rolling down Rep 5: 5:57 pace - flat Rep 6: 5:58 pace - flat 1 mile tempo- 6:15 rolling down As you can see, after the first rep, I knew I was in trouble and wasn't going to hit my times. I decided to finish the workout and at least try. It ended up being mostly MP miles, but that is better than nothing. Oh, well, at least I got to sit in the car for 9 hours and drive home as a recovery. Fun stuff. Good news of the weekend was that our house that we are selling went under contract! We now have 3 weeks then we are homeless until sometime in December when our house is finished being built. Hmmm, should make life interesting... T-1:48:33 (15.25 miles) 7:07 155 ave 177 max |
