Today's was almost the same as last week's classes, but the result was horrible. I was working super hard, way harder than I felt like I should be. It felt like it was taking all my physical and mental strength just to maintain 90+ RPM. Forget getting to 96+ RPM—that just wasn't happening!
^^This is what the ride looked like, and this is what it felt like vv.
This was super hard. My HR was ridiculously high, and I only made it through an hour!

I was FIGHTING during the entire tempo effort I completed. I knew I'd be fighting through the next two if I did them, and it's not that I didn't want to fight, it's that I didn't want to continue killing myself. The amount of work I was doing was comparable to the TTT: My HR was almost as high as it was for the first test, but there was going to be no reward. There was no way I could have done two more of those efforts, one 5 minutes longer than the other, so I got off the bike and called it a day.
Best decision I made all morning.
