Training objective: 60 mins H/R at 155-160 and cadence at 65-75. I did a 10 minute warm-up (Lap/Split 1), then a 60 minute hard ride (Lap/Split 2), followed by a short cool-down back to the bike storage locker (Lap/Split 3). Super gusty winds today. I nearly lost it with a very strong side gust at one point. And was nearly hit by cars a few times. I won't bore you with the details - it was exciting, but I must be quite relaxed, as I don't see a significant spike in my heart rate at the 29 minute mark... :) I'm still feeling strong (and I'm pretty well back to my pre-vacation Fitness/Fatigue levels on Strava). I didn't realize I wasn't supposed to do a hard ride yesterday until it was too late (I mis-labelled the rides "Tempo Rides" in case you checked earlier this week). I'm not trying to ignore your coaching - honest! Just been a bit distracted this week I guess. I figured I should keep on the programme, so I went out and di the hard ride again today. Tomorrow is a rest day. Even though I'm feeling strong, I'll take the day off - I promise! I'm looking forward to the group ride on Saturday and then a Tempo ride on my own on Sunday, so hope that'll work for you and you won't think I've done too much (besides Monday is also a rest day). Thanks, Morne!
