All the air travel over the weekend kicked in today. I did less training than usual, but I think the time crammed in an airplane seat and driving on the highway must have tightened things up. I found I was stiff through my lower body all day, but still planned on doing my scheduled ride. Things loosened up pretty quick during the warm-up, and I set off at the hard intervals. And that's when things went south.
Actually, it went OK during the first two intervals, but by the five minute mark of the last interval, there was a blow-up. I just couldn't handle the prescribed effort. I took a small break, then worked a few shorter intervals until what should have been the end of the set. A bit disappointing to fail at a workout, especially this late in the training. But I can't get too upset. It's one workout, and I'll crush it next time. I know the fitness is there in general, just missed it today. Hopefully I'll be right by Thursday for the next big run day. I'll be in there swinging either way.
Bike: 65 minutes, w/3x12 minutes @ 315w, 3 min recovery (planned)
2x12 min (3 min), 1x5 min (2 min), 3x1:15 (30 sec) (planned)
Run: 3 miles @ 7.5 mph + 4 strides
