90 Minutes

Well, today's workout was much better. After a 20 minute warmup, I did 3 x 15 minutes of Tempo with 10 minutes recovery between sets. Overall, I can't complain. I felt pretty smooth though there was a discernible dip in power on the last set. Again, I'm not taking the watts too seriously right now since I don't yet have a proper benchmark to determine training intensities. But it is nevertheless interesting to see how power output can drop relative to heart rate, after a couple of sets. The power meter really is a good indicator of fatigue.

More generally, I think I'm going to like using my newly acquired Power Tap SL. I haven't yet mastered all its functions. And it comes with software that will allow me to analyze my workouts. So this should satiate my nerdy tendencies.

On that note, I'm off. I intend to do an easy spin tomorrow to relax my legs and then a strength/core workout.
