PM: 60' on the trainer. 183W. HR 143.

PT session #16. Pretty discouraged with the elbow. This was the day I decided to drop out of Ice Man. I might regret it, but it is just too difficult with the boys unless Megan stays home with them. I have too much work to do to be driving 3 hours to Traverse City, stay over night, race, then drive 3 hours home.

In the upper 30s and raining, so I skipped doing a run. Not interested in running in that kind of weather at this point in my life.

Rainy and cold, so I skipped running and did a similar effort and time on the trainer before driving to Southfield.

AM/Lunch: 3.8 miles, averaged 9:14. HR 157 + 90' on the trainer. 223W. HR 166.

5 x 5' @ 105%

About 310 watts for the harder intervals.

After the run, I got some electrolytes and got the boys down for their naps and jumped on the trainer. Very hard interval session. Didn't have it for the planned 6. Recoveries were 3'. I messed up on the 4th interval and advanced the workout after only 80" and that pretty much buried me for the 4th and 5th. Started the 6th but gave up. Recoveries needed to be at a lower wattage as well or should have left them open.
