Lunch: 3.5 miles, averaged 10:13. HR 146.
PM: 90' on the trainer w/ 60' steady to hard.
~10' and ~20' down w/ 60' @ 280W @ 176 BPM
Group ride at what was much harder than it was billed. 3 watts per kilo is pretty hard for somewhat at my fitness and weight, but I figured I could do it and that the planned route would be around 60'. Felt strong through the first lap, but lost the group but you really don't notice drafting in a game; it's more a matter of having someone in front of you or to chase as it is in in-person racing. Just held steady to a bit more steady to pick up each lap. Came in just over 59' and figured there was no sense in not gettting a good 60' effort to get a sense of HR and power. Almost wish I would have pushed slightly harder earlier, but I wasn't sure if I would crack because other than a few 30" sprints I have done nothing harder in a month.
