Day 164

Got my power meter back today, so I decided to try and ride as though I didn't have it and see how my pacing was.  So following my heart rate, I found my pacing to be a little high at times (about 30% of the ride) and sometimes too low (about 10%).  This isn't a major issue, but it leads to problems in the long term.  By training too hard for an easy ride, but not hard enough for a hard ride (roughly that 30%), I would be lessening my ability to train hard or easy.  So I'd be too tired to ride long enough to reap the benefits of an easy ride, and not hard enough to benefit from hard intervals... Glad to be back on track, even if it means more people passing me out on the road!  Today was 30.16km in 1:07:31, for an avg speed of 26.8km/h, avg power was 166W, normalized 171W.
