5×20 seconds and 3×4 minutes

I did the 5×20’s first. I took 3 minutes instead of 2 between, not because I was tired just because I couldn’t remember what the time between was. Old age is a horrible thing. Anyway watts/cadence, 376/141, 406/139, 413/138, 442/135, 435/137. On the 3×4 minutes I held 344/95, 348/93 and 351/92. had fun with all
