Anvil or Hammer


A long ride

I took yesterday off. I slept in and then I didn’t train in the evening. I don’t regret it on bit.

This morning it was a bit hard to get up though. Still, I did and I ahd a pretty good wake up for the effort. I may need to consider extending my workout to 15 minutes. I currently do some wake up type “stretches” for about 5 minutes and then go to it but I think the little set with the 12K that I open th workout with is becoming more of a wake up thing too. It takes about 5 minutes to go through.

I definitely spent most of my time in the low to mid 150s. I hit 160 at about 10 minutes to go and 170 was the last couple minutes. I was aiming for a better pace than 2:20. I haven’t done the math but I’m prety sure I got there based on watching the monitor.
