I went out today just to get some more tempo time. Tomorrow will be an easy day so I can do some long hard rides on the weekend so today was an “anything goes’ type ride. I basically rode low tempo most of the time but decided to spice it up with some sprints.

I did one after a fast downhill to get my speed up and found that it works great for doing a long sprint; resistance stays high so no shifting necessary. Once I got home I downloaded my ride and found that I came so close to breaking my best mean maximal power (MMP) for the 9–12 second range! Not bad considering my legs were still feeling a bit weak.

After that I was done with sprints and just rode an erratic tempo pace home. It was a bit cool and windy out but no rain today. So far the weather looks good for Saturday when I plan to do long hard ride.
