Group: just me

The Ride: My usual out and back effort on Sunday following church service with two 60 minute intervals. Today was a really tough effort and I knew it would be. I tried to stay with a frisky group yesterday because some of them kept enticing me to stay with them, but I was already fatigued from training all week. I was well up into the high 300 to 400 watt range on just about every hill. Way above what I was supposed to be doing so it really cost me today. I was simply too fatigued to keep in my zones and could just barely hold it at level 3 of Coogan's zones.

I enjoyed my "birthday ride" with the gang. I will discount this ride today and get back to the program from this point forward. Next weekend I will stay in my zones and not come out of them so that Sunday I can try to train between L3 and L4. Hopefully :-)
