Sunny and 44 degrees so I went outside. And, it may rain tomorrow. Did these with just small breaks after a 10 minute warmup. Total time in the intervals was about 43 minutes with power from 330-350, cadence low 90’s. Felt great! And nice to get outside. Normalizepwoer for 70 minutes at 303 watts.
We drove to Gatlinburg Wednesday, Asheville NC on Thursday and then back to Cincinnati Thursday night.

only had 60 minutes so I did 7×5 minutes with just 2 minutes between; power was 330, 333, 329, 329, 328, 329, 328; cadence from upper 70- to mid 80’s; tough to do on the inside bike as cadence is just too low.

I only had about 5 years of sleep last night. Stayed up too late watching the Bengals make fools of themselves and then had to teach my 8am class. Didn’t ride with them given the tt this afternoon. Felt just marginal during my warmup but still rode a 14:46, 12 seconds off my best, and
