Ask, and you may receive more than you wanted.

So I listened. So I did some intervals. Painful. SLOW. So little difference between when I was busting my butt and when I was recovering. Perceived effort level was very high - gasping, can't wait for the 3 minutes to end. My main points observed are that I just don't go fast even when I am trying, I go almost as fast when cruising, and my cadence is about where I wanted it.

Note: My heart rate was elevated at least 10% (10 MG of Adderall 7 hours earlier). I usually don't take it on days I ride.

PS - I wish I knew how to make the graphic insert full sized.
