Day 213

Today I had a short recovery ride to save myself for a max effort 10km TT in the lab tomorrow.  I'm not really sure how well I'll be able to judge my effort on an ergo, with no wind, etc, let alone no power meter!  I've become a little dependent on my power meter... today was nice and sunny, but there was a strong headwind on the way out and I needed the power meter to keep me from riding to hard.  Today I rode 16.45km in 39:10 for an avg speed of 25.2km/h and avg power of 143W (149W normalized).  It was a little disappointing to have such a short ride on such a nice day, but the nerd in me figures it's worth it to get a free VO2 test (and $150 cash).
