Did my 2×8 minute field test today inside given the cold weather (under 20 degrees). Last time we did this was in September at the end of the tt season and I held 377 and 381 on SR 52. Todays efforts in the basement were 363 and 370. last winter I held 370 both times

The last time we tried these, sometime back in November, I completed the first two and stopped about 10 minutes into the third as my power was around 310.

Hels 300/342, 311/345, 316/345, 315/349 and 311/352. Have these tomorrow and Saturday so I can redeem myself on the steady state portion. Should be 320+. Yesterdays circuit class was an issue with the legs today.

The green line is cadence and was pretty consistent between 95 and 100. HR was above 170 by the end of 1.5 miles, hit 176 at about 3.6 miles and then peaked at 179 over the last mile. This would have my HR hovering in the 96-98% of max most of the ride. The blue
