With only a few weeks before the season starts to begin for real, I'm on one last pass through the three Spinervals workouts that have been my guiding light for the last couple of months. Today was the last shot at Aero Base Builder V, and things went well. My heart rate was higher than it should have been all the way through, by about 5 bpm or so. I don't know if I'm under recovered from the week, or just didn't sleep well last night, or maybe drank too much coffee this morning. Given that my power was up (by 8w on average), and my RPE was right where it should have been, I'm not going to be too concerned. Sometimes those things just happen. If two of the three measures vote for progress, then that's a majority, and it goes in the log as a good day.

And if you have nothing better to do tomorrow afternoon, you can play a game of "Where's Waldo?" during NBC's coverage of the 70.3 Worlds. Look for the pale, skinny guy who's not dealing well with the heat. Hopefully I won't be immortalized during a walk break.
I'm hoping for warm enough weather tomorrow that I can get my scheduled ride done _outside_. The TT bike is still on the trainer, but I've already had the LOOK out on the road and I'm champing at the bit to get back outside.
