Getting close to the edge

It's been a hard couple of weeks, with lots of threshold work on the bike and run. With other work going on, my sleep hasn't been great, so I'm getting a bit under-recovered. I haven't gotten to the point of "overtrained" yet, but I'm definitely overreaching. I just need to get through this weekend, then I'll get 5 days of pseudo-rest. I'll bounce back something fierce during that rest week.

Even in this state, I had a pretty good ride tonight. This was the last time through the 2x20, and I held 300+ watts through both blocks (avg ~305w). My heart rate was 5-10 bpm higher than last week when I was averaging 295-300w, which is a product of my lack of rest. But I plugged through the workout, and don't feel dead to the world. Just tired enough for a good night's sleep.

Bike: 65 min, w/2x20 min @ 305w, 5 min rest
Run: 2 miles @ 7.2 mph
