"Hmmm..."

I hope it's not some grand illusion, and I hope I'm not doing something wrong?

I'm referring to my computrainer training which just continues improving in leaps and bounds.  Every time I set out to do one of the workouts I am initially intimidated, but almost every time I exceed the numbers comfortably.  Today was no exemption.

Here are a few numbers.

My original test ride was done almost 9 weeks ago on fresh legs, and for the 30 minute duration  I achieved an average power output of 172 watts.

My second test 4 weeks ago resulted in a 181 average, again for 30 minutes. Also, as before, I rested in preparation.

Today the schedule called for a 50 minute tempo ride at 163 watts.  I had already swam this morning and did weights, and then spent the afternoon replacing the plumbing in our bathroom.  When I finally got on the bike it was after 4 o'clock, generally not my favorite time of day to work out.

I did the 50  minute workout at 187 watts!!!  And felt good throughout!!  And remember this was a regualar workout with no rest days in advance.

Hmmm...

Love
Peter
