Down to Conington Airfield again for today's scheduled Endurance ride (Mount Albert-1). One day I'll have to smash that route. Anytime before when I've been fast, time has dictated I do the loop twice, the segment is only 1 loop 😂

Zwift Race today :smile:
 
Almost a case of de ja vu today except it was 10deg C warmer and sunny as I headed down to Conington Airfield for the Endurance workout Mount Albert-1 again.

It was a lovely morning but I waited until it had warmed up to go out.

Edit, I guess it was windy looking at the pancake flat Holme Rd segments.

I had a bit of a cold last week, so postponed my TR start, I then carried out the first one on Sunday, when I was still a bit under the weather, and fatigued from a ride the day before which wasn't the best idea, but I did it because the Rouvy 'Big Race' had technical issues, and I wanted something tangible to complete - it was a poor decision as things go, but spur of the moment.

Anyway, that was Mondays ride completed one day early, had Monday off, and then took part in a Rouvy race on Tuesday.
Had Wed off, and then completed this 75 minuter on a long lunch today:

Running with a bit of a hurty lower back/left hip currently (Think it came about from DIY on Saturday), so am doing lots of stretches currently, but was conscious to try and keep the cadence up, so managed 90/88/90/86 for the first 4, then admittedly I did let it drop for the last two, down to 79 & 71, but it feels like I got away with it.

Fairly pleased with it - watched the latest Matt Stephens Cafe ride which was pretty good to be fair and worth a look, I forget the chaps name, but basically a Danish F1 reserve driver for Mercedes, who is buds with Mads Pedersen.

Saturday I had a 60 minute sweet spot workout planned in by TR, but as I am planning to be watching Strade Bianche women's in the morning, thought it would be better to extend it to 90 minutes, and make it a tiny bit less intensive, but have a bigger improvement on the sweet spot metric.
Swapped from this: (Apparently my AI FTP will be 221 as of tomorrow)

Think that should work out ok.
