Second 10k TT of the year this afternoon... just needed to blow off a little steam before departing for Las Vegas.
The stage:
1. Music absent (ok)
2. Visual stimulus included looking out the window (ok)
3. Thursday afternoon after an i-banking workweek (sure, it's a short week, but don't forget "it's hard to get 80 hours in if you don't do 14 on Monday and Tuesday") (-)
4. Pre-game meal was a Durango Sizzler burrito/wrap for lunch, and a co-workers' ice cream birthday cake (+/-)
The result:
10k, 16 mins, 40 seconds, average of 314W. I weigh 171 lbs at the moment.
The reflection:
That's 1W more and 9 seconds less than last week. But more importantly, it didn't feel absolutely miserable. It felt hard, mildly miserable, but do-able. Another week or two of this and we should be onto something.
I'll be riding in warmer weather for 4 days, and I intend to ride quite a bit. If I can rest up and do another one next week, I bet it'd show improvement just from increased blood volume.
Let's hope!
