Training = fail

I'm terrible for skipping workouts, that much I'll admit. It's very rare however that I don't succeed once I get myself into a chamois and on the bike. Last night I finally got around to doing the interval workout which I'd originally planned for Wednesday.

I was going to do 3x15m blocks at race pace (near LT) with 5 min recovery in between, but quickly realized I was going to have to cut back. So after a brief warmup I started the first interval hoping to do 10 minutes. At around 8 minutes the power dropped right off, but I finished it anyway. 5 minute recovery, and into the next interval... nothing there. The legs were just gone, so I pulled the plug, spun the legs for a couple minutes and packed it in.

In retrospect I probably didn't eat enough during the day, but even with more fuel I'm not sure I could have done the full 3x15 planned. Just a bad day on the bike.

These happen I suppose, so I'll probably do a short opener workout tonight and then put my legs up to rest for the weekend.
