PM: 120' on the trainer.
Zwift Race: 35:22 @ 280 watts @ 161 BPM
I had an FTP test scheduled, but was nervous about it, so I figured a race around 25-30' might be better and I could go out hard for 20', die, and get my 20' test. I warmed up about 24' with a clearing effort and got into the race. I went out decently hard and found myself off the front and increasing my lead, so I stuck with it. I had a 10-15 second gap at one put but the guys behind me were pushing pretty hard to catch me and I got caught around the 12' mark. I hung on as well as I could and kept up with the chase pack, but my confidence was shot (even though I didn't expect to hold them off the whole race, I still kind of hoped I would). My power dropped throughout and the overall effort wasn't fantastic, but it was okay.
Cooled down an hour mostly in zone 2. Felt good for that. I wasn't super happy with the effort, but I also haven't done many full gas efforts over 10-12' in about two months, so probably something to that along with the weight loss.
24' up @ 209 watts @ 123 BPM; 61' down @ 200 watts @ 120 BPM
