2-4 Weeks catch up

Managed to get out for a coule of hours tonight, before it became too dark (had not took any lights out and do not want to ride the roads round here in the dark as I'd like to see the sun again). 2 Hours 5minutes and 40.2miles later I was a bit stuffed but feeling like I'd had a good and productive ride, although looking at the data it seems like I'm about 2-4 weeks back from my peak (3 weeks ago).

NP60 was 358W (avg 335W) with an average HR of 140bpm and max 175bpm over the local area that included 300m of climbing and about 2 minutes of stops. The average speed of 20.1mph gives a fair idea of my aerodynamics on the bike, resting on the hoods. Need to work on my stability a bit when I'm resting on the tops of the bars.

With the additional weight loss the one thing, which did stand out a little, was going up the hills as it seemed a little more comfortable to get into a pace at 400W for 3-5min at a time with my HR picking up to 169bpm. Conditions were cooler (16C) and I did go out with my longs on (arm warmers in the pocket until after 90min), which probably helped more.

So, tomorrow night is hopefully an hour on the bike to the park with Luke as a recovery spin before another session on Wednesday as the build to the next race.
