Slept okay. Woke up early but this allowed me to eat something prior working out.
The usual gang was all here for our CompuTrainer workout at Cycle University, and what a good crowd it was.
I decided to lower the bar just a bit today so I could achieve some success! In the past I have been dialing in a threshold power that is too high for me to maintain all the way to the end of the workout. Today I was so close to 100% success.
We did a modified 2 x 20 program (modified in that it had some short hills sprinkled through the 20 minute intervals) and about three quarters of the way into the second interval I had to stop pedaling for three seconds. Damn. It is totally in my head which almost makes it even more frustrating. I am absolutely strong/fit enough, I just can't focus and maintain the effort.
Well, there's always next year. Kidding.
I started the first interval at a threshold setting of 310 watts and it felt okay. During our break Greg K urged everyone to up the watts a bit so I dialed in 315 and then with three seconds to go before the start of the second interval dialed it up to 320.
On the up side, after I caved for those three seconds I turned up my threshold power to 330 watts with three minutes to go and then 340 watts with one minute to go.
Whew… for the cool down I dropped the threshold power back down to 320. Not that it matters much.
