Velo Garage Session 19: New Gizmo and Low Attendance

Just three of us were in the Garage last night. It was one of those nights when it would have been very easy to nap instead of driving the ten minutes over to the VG to ride. I am always glad I resist the temptation to rest instead of training and last night was no exception. Megan came up with some new software or an app or something that automatically counts down your intervals for you and I must admit I thought it was pretty cool. In the anaerobic fog of a session it is easy sometimes to lose track of where you are timewise.

I like it that the app counts down in time and not up... somehow that seems more motivating. We did four 5-minute intervals and I was very satisfied with my work even though no new power records were set. I felt that I got in four good quality efforts, with good power output for me, and I took myself near the limit. So what more can you really ask?

I concentrated on keeping my tempo and speed up a little during the four minute recovery periods.

There was good conversation and re-hydration during the fellowship hour after the ride.
