Even though it’s now April, the weather still feels like winter. It was sunny most of the day and looked warm outside, but it barely got into the mid-40s. I wanted to get some VO2 work in so I headed outside anyway and did a set of 5×5 minute VO2s. With intersections, right-hand turns, and some ups and downs, they were more variable than when I do them indoors, but that’s part of specificity…I don’t race on rollers. In the end, my average wattage across the set was pretty good. After a few minutes recovery, I cruised at a mid-tempo pace and met up with Dan for the ride back home. The sun had given way to high clouds so I was pretty cold by the time I got home. But a solid workout nonetheless.
