Day 219

Round 2 on the 10min intervals.  Last time I managed 2 at an avg of 235W each.  Today I managed to keep both at and avg of 249W.  So I'm pretty happy about that.  I think a big part of it at this time of year is just remembering how to push myself.  I think I was able to dig a little deeper today, rather than being much stronger than last week.  As a result, this kind of improvement should taper off as I get back into the habit of pushing through.  But for now, I'm keeping up with my goal of adding 5-10W per week, and then some! 

I thought about trying for a third interval, but didn't really feel up to after a bit of recovery after the second interval.  So my ride ended up being 27.23km in 57:23, for an avg speed of 28.5km/h and an avg power of 175W (204W normalized).  If you're looking at the graph/map and notice all the stops in the beginning, I was just dialing in my derailleur.  I had to stop again on the way back, but I'm pretty sure I got fixed up and shifting smoothly again.
