Comet - Tempo to Threshold

Goal: Rack up some decent time in L3, SST and L4

The Ride: I missed riding outside yesterday and really did not want to fight the wind so I ended up doing 2 hours 20 minutes on the e-Motion rollers. I was not sure if the effort on the rollers yesterday would impact the effort today. Perhaps it did to some degree, but I felt pretty strong for most of the ride. I started to fade a bit in the last 10 miles or so. Traffic became heavier and it became harder to hold the tempo. I am still content with the training this weekend despite missing the usual group ride.

Nutrition Intake During and after the Course: ~36 oz.of water with Hammer Heed, BCAA and Glutamine, (1) Hammer gel (1) 40 gram Whey protein post ride recovery drink .

The Weather: Sunny, Start @ 73 degrees

Bike: LOOK 585, Garmin 705, Powertap wired
