CompuTrainer Class: Tempo/Aerobic Training III

Preds game! W 3-1

This has been quite the week for riding so far. It has been absolutely beautiful outside, but I haven't had a chance to make it out riding. So instead, I've been to Todd's studio (Endeavor Performance) 3 days in a row. Talk about a challenge! Today I was slightly more tired than I was yesterday (surprise!). I rode at 211 for the whole class today, I think at one easier gear than I'd been at yesterday and Tuesday. Felt great until the second V, same as yesterday, but I pushed through it because I knew I had only a few minutes left and I could do it. Victory.
