AM/Lunch: 2 hours 41'. 51.2 miles @ 19.1 MPH. 219W. HR 147. 

Decided to get my bike workout in while the boys were in school and maybe run later if timing permits. It was decently warm and the air wasn't super breathable but it wasn't too bad. Between warmer temps, the Canadian wildfires, and the cottonwood, my HR was solidly elevated. It's not often that I do a training ride and my HR is in the 140 range these days. Solid sweet spot session on the tempo loop, which is in great shape currently. 

3 x 20' Sweet Spot (6' recoveries): 267W @ 158 BPM; 270W @ 163 BPM; 267W @ 165 BPM

Most of my recent sweet spot stuff my HR has barely got into the 160s. It was closer to what it has historically been or a bit closer to my threshold intervals when it is cooler out. 

PM: off. 

Decided to get an early start on the evening with dinner and such so I can get to bed early and try to hard reset my sleep schedule. I have been very good about going to be early, but I think I am going to try to get in bed before 10 most nights to get up early to get my runs in before the boys get up as they will be out of school early next week.
