Mountain bike tempo (Vinnie) 1:33:00 [3] 32.3 km (2:53 / km) +137m 2:49 / km
ahr:134 max:156
Radar showed the rain having moved out at 5:30 so at 6:15 I headed out in the 12C wet, but not raining morning. I opted for the country loop and it was very quiet. The edges of the clouds broke up at 10km and when I made the turn back east the sun was coming out from behind the last cloud. The road didn't have time to start drying before I finished, but you couldn't ask for a nicer morning.

Pouring rain and not feeling the trainer, so might be a rest day.

Day 2 free weights and push ups
Nice enough for a ride outside but my right knee got twisted a bit too much yesterday between finishing the trainer intervals and getting the cycle grade compression off. I suspect I started getting off the Bacchetta before completely unclip ping.

3 threshold. 6 VO2max. A demanding session. Average heart rate in clusters of 3 intervals ran 146, 152, 153. Recovery heart rate dropped to about 130 after each hard interval. In the later intervals it was harder to bring the power up with cadence so I grabbed a gear.
I'll have to check to see how that compares to the last time I did this video, but I believe the recovery heart rate is 10-15 bpm lower resulting in a lower overall average.
Power: avg-195, max-362
Comparison to Feb 18, 2016: power numbers exactly the same. Heart average 151, max 174

As I left work there was a pause between the Sunday-Monday rain and the Monday-Tuesday rain so I took my chances with the commuters. I needed to get Vinnie out of the car to make room for Flight's secret weapon for nationals so it made sense to just jump on it.
Traffic was pretty good. A few stop lights may have contributed to the low heart rate, but I've noticed a pattern since getting back from the beach. Average rates are a bit lower, but the most noticeable thing is how quickly the rate settles when backing off the effort.
