Back at Heckscher State Park this a.m. to cycle. 4 sets 17 min ea holding 190-200 watts with 5 min recoveries. Even though ea effort was over 3x longer than Tuesday's ride from hell (6x5 min @ 235-245 watts), I faired much better. Could've been a result of my largest fan club to date cheering me on. Ok, not exactly fans/cheering, but when 9 deer show up munching grass a few yards away and there's not another human in sight, you take liberties.
As I've said before, Tues & Weds are crushers where sets are relatively short but very intense. Thurs & Fri, workouts are longer and efforts are slightly below threshold. Sat & Sun are really long and meant to build endurance.
I have 2 more weeks of training before I begin my first taper leading up to the 1/2 Ironman upstate NY on 7/17. The calm before the storm.
Tonight, as promised, I'll bang out Ab Ripper X and Shoulders & Arms from P90X.
