They predicted rain today, but it held up. I didn't feel like riding outdoors, so I decided to ride on Zwift instead. I got my gear ready and suited up. I decided to do two laps of the Innsbruck mountain loop. The legs felt a bit heavy to start. They were sufficiently warmed up for the first lap up the mountain. I wasn't really sure what to expect. I set the weight to 138. That's within a pound of my actual weight. (I weighed in at 138 after the ride was over). I settled into the climb. Letting the legs to warm up. after about 10 minutes of climbing. I was able to put more power into the pedals. I was noting my time, wattage, watts/kg, and HR. I was within my limits most of the time. I was out of the saddle a lot. Sitting down to wipe and drink. I rinse and repeat approach. As I was approaching the summit. It showed that I was going to set a PR. I kept the power down, no super digs. I beat my PR by a minute or so. Quite significant and unexpected. After reaching the summit, I headed downhill. letting the legs recover and preparing for the second lap. I reached the base and started the climb again. This time around, my legs were warmed up. I was able to put a bit more power on the lower slopes. I approached the the climb similar to the first time. In the saddle a lot and in the saddle to hydrate and wipe. After about half way, I was continuing to feel good. And it appeared as though I was on similar time to the first lap. I kept the tempo going. About 5 minutes from the summit, it was apparent that I was going to set a negative split. I kept the power down. With about 2 minutes, I noticed that I was within about 10 seconds of a negative split. I was pushing over 4 watts/kg in the last 3 minutes and over 5 watts/kg in the last minute. I was at max over the top and set negative split by about 10 seconds. Setting a PR for the past month or so. Concentration was real good. I found some music that was perfect for riding. Up beat and catchy beat. Definitely helped. Ailments, some soreness in the right ball of my foot as I was climbing. It went away after a few minutes. No numbness in the hands today. Balance and form felt good. Gear worked great. Other notes, there were about 750 riders on this map. I made 8th place on the KOM.
