Lunch: 60' on the trainer.

20' FTP Test

It didn't go well. These are so hard. I Lost confidence and kind of lost my head this day. Things were already trending downhill. Just have to go with where I am at. I think my FTP from TrainerRoad is set way too high anyway. 311 Watts @ 177 BPM. About 320 watts for the first half and around 300 for the second half. I knew I couldn't hold the suggested 330-340, but I thought maybe I could do 320-325 as I had done an interval somewhat recently around 310-319 for 10' or so in the middle of an interval session. Not the case.
