birthday and anniversary

Some intervals at 85% FTP (285W) on Tuesday.

10 × 4 minute climbs of the power station climb (40 mins total).

I enjoy the focus of these hard, but not too hard, controlled efforts.

Following my coach's advice, I'll do this workout later in the week as 2 × 20 mins intervals. These will be better for analyzing the power vs. heart rate relationship.

Wednesday was Shinobu's birthday and our 10 year wedding anniversary. I trained on Christmas Day and my birthday... but... after 2 hard training days, the timing for a rest couldn't be better.

Tuesday's training:

Muscular endurance: Road (2h)
Speed drills / endurance: Rollers (1h 15)

Wednesday: rest day

Base 3, week 2: 11 hours (target 17.5 h) after 3 days
