30:00 Stationary Bike

I thought that since I started the week doing pyramid intervals, I would keep it going. Going to try to beat the times/distances I did in this workout.

Not really much else to say today, so let's get started...

Not a bad workout -- felt pretty good throughout and didn't hit any major energy slumps. I like these workouts because I like to think they better approximate long-distance biking (or running), which is what I have to do in 4 weeks (eek!). The average pace here during the 'work' part of the workout (minutes 0 - 26) was just shy of .3 mi / min. If I extrapolate, that means I should be able to do the 40k bike in about 84 minutes. That would be a time I'd be happy with! I think I'm going to stick with this style of workout for the next 4 weeks leading up to the tri; going to try to add a interval or so every week.
