Rooftop Pain Cave - Quality session on the trainer

First time on the trainer since the 1st week of July (I believe) and I forgot how painful it could be.

Especially when you have to push at around 105-110% of your FTP!

Training session was as follows:
30min WU
4x
4min @ FTP - 2min Rest
2min @ 105% of FTP - 60" rest
2min @ 105 of FTP - 2min rest
5min cooldown

Massive Stretch!

Sometimes it's not about quantity, but about quality. It was 80 min total, but 80 min of high quality training where I managed to hit all my target wattage and stayed focused the entire time. I gained confidence after IM Zurich and it showed tonight. 10 more days of intense training before 1 taper week and Ironman 70.3 World Championship in Mt Tremblant, Ca.

The legs started to burn after the first set, and became really painful at the end of the second.
The rest of the session was all about mental focus and will. I struggled hard in the last set. My #1 support +Mariesa Carrow met me for the last set.

We had Tacos for dinner! :) Delicious!
