Early wake-up call

This is another of those days when stuff gets shuffled around. We have plans with some friends tonight, which precludes getting in my bike ride after work. That means if I'm going to do it, I'll be doing it at 6am. Imagine my joy at that.

Suffice it to say, the workout wasn't spectacular this morning. I repeated the sprinting session from last week, but with mixed results. My average wattage was a bit down, and my heart rate was a bit high, but I did hit a new peak wattage (872w, still well shy of where I should be). So, a little silver lining on the dark cloud.

Actually, the cloud isn't really that dark. Let's be honest: I can't be expected to hit it as hard within 30 minutes of waking up, with only a bit of food in my belly, as I would at 6pm, after a full day, 3+ meals, and two cups of coffee. I'm calling it a push, and assume that I haven't actually gotten slower this week.
