PM: 180' on the trainer. 237W. HR 145. 

2 x 40' Sweet Spot + 1 x 15' Sweet Spot

275W (HR 155), 275W (HR 158), 275 (HR 160)

Wanted to get in about three hours with some quality per the schedule, so I just used the terrain to do some long sweet spot stuff. It worked well, but the course was a bit too hilly in one spot. Once you get to 10-12% grade or in there, it doesn't work well because you run out of gears to keep the power in the right zone. Under that and it helps to hold consistent power. I was pretty pleased with this. HR seems to have settled back out over the last several days from the previous weeks when it was up a bit. 

Took the boys to an Oakland basketball game, which went well until it didn't as they were acting up. They did well at my brother-in-law's game last night and it was nice to get out.

I didn't eat much other than a double protein shake after the ride. Started to get quite tired when we got home and fell alseep on the couch for a short time. Went to get food and then felt very sick. Went to bed, but around 11:30 the GI system on boths ends was acting up. Just a bug I guess. Boys have been sick recently but at different times and that was a bit ago.
