Today is another day for indoor riding. I'm still on PT for my right glute. I chose a map that I could finish within 40 minutes. This one seemed to fit the bill. Setting up the gear was quick. I hopped on as soon as I could. Perhaps a bit delayed from sleeping in. The legs felt pretty good to start. Nothing much to tell about this ride. I was practicing in and out of the saddle efforts. Somewhat interval-like. This ride had minimal elevation gain. I was doing 3 W/kg while out of the saddle and above 2 W/kg while in the saddle. I was playing by ear more than structuring it. This was a looping map, so I shut it down after completing one. I commenced the cooldown immediately after. I let the HR get back down to 112 BPM, and then hopped off the trainer. Concentration was good. Patience wasn't much of a problem since this was a quick ride. Minimal lapses and gremlins (just a hint of).
Balance and form was good, not great. Ailments were minimal, but my right knee seems to be getting sore while I'm doing out of the saddle efforts. Definitely a fore / aft cleat issue, otherwise the saddle position. But, given that it happens mostly while out of the saddle, likely a cleat issue. Gear worked flawless. It took a while to get the bike mounted on the trainer. The through axel design still complicates things. I think I chipped some paint while putting the bike on the trainer. Looks to have been from near the rear dropout. Nutrition was good. No hunger signs. Other notes, I think there were about 8000-ish riders when I hopped on. I finished 800-something on a timed section. (Out of a few thousand).
