CompuTrainer Class: Force and Power IV

Great seats at the Preds game, right behind the goal where
we could see pretty much everything that was happening!

I've been doing something a little different at work this week, and it enabled me to complete 7 minutes of work, curl/lunge, during the day. That meant I could swim at lunch: 3×125, 2×175, 3×125; average for 125: 1:59 (best: 1:54, first one; worst: 2:04, third one); average for 175: 2:54 (both were the same).

Then it was off to Todd's for this ride. Also, I hit a milestone/got over a wall today by achieving 700 watts on a sprint. It was the last of 9 sprints and I was really pushing for it to be the best one. Thankfully it was, and now I am closer to my goal of 850W :-) The graphic below is slightly off—the first block should be 15 minutes rather than 20 and there should be an additional sprint in the first half:

Then, one of the guys in my class offered me tickets to tonight Predators game. So instead of going to a BEAT kit meeting/happy hour and Inversion, I gladly accepted them, called Anna, and headed downtown. We ended up staying for only a period and a half, but they were great seats and I'm glad she could join me for the good game!
