Longer Intervals and Increased Mileage

Tuesday started my transition to longer MSP intervals and more time one the bike. Not much racing going on between now and July so I hope to start a new build phase and be flying by mid-late July for the State Road Race Championships.

Tuesday's workout called for 4 intervals 8 minutes in length with the first 7 minutes being at MSP and the last minute being at SMSP with 4 minutes of rest in between intervals. I decided to start conservatively as I was still feeling sluggish from the weekend and ended up with the following #'s:

Interval 1: 7 minutes @ 288W and 1 minute @ 348W

Interval 2: 7 minutes @ 282W and 1 minute @ 351W

Interval 3: 7 minutes @ 280W and 1 minute @ 340W

Interval 4: 7 minutes @ 282W and 1 minute @ 343W
