One last pass through the I-pace gauntlet, at least for a while. I don't think I'll ever really get over my dread of these days, and today was especially concerning. Tuesday's ride was really hard, and I didn't know if I was recovered. My attempt last week didn't go as smooth as I had hoped, and one more week of hard training probably wasn't going to make anything easier. But once I more I hopped on the treadmill and hit the Start button.
And somehow, things actually went really well. I was in a lot better shape than last week. Instead of struggling through the last three intervals, I was only really tested in the last 90 seconds of the last interval. That's a serious improvement. I stayed nice and relaxed with my form all throughout, my cadence was quick, and it all fell right into place. Now that's what we're looking for. I get a bit of back off week coming up, and I think this proves I've earned it.
