I'm a bit tired, so I'm keeping this short. This morning was more cycling, meaning more Have Mercy. A couple of positives, a couple of negatives come out of the day. First, number-wise, today was a step up from last through, three weeks ago. It's not big, but 0.7 watts higher on average is more. And more is good. Even better, I did it at an average heart rate 4 bpm lower than last time. So more watts at an easier effort. Score.
Thing is, it could have been better. I fell apart a little in the last 30 minutes. Most of the high-intensity intervals during that section were about 20w lower than before. That's not a good sign. I was just kind of tapped. Not completely exhausted, since I was still making some power, but it could (should) have been more. I may take the time to write down what my bests were for each section over the last two passes, and next time through try to match my records all the way through. That should get me an even better day.
Now for food and nap. If they're going to rob me of an hour sleep tonight, I'll have to get it back when I can.
