Anyone have trouble getting it up in the morning?
HR, that is. I noticed that early in the morning, my HR is consistently lower on training rides than later. I can't seem to hold quite as high cadences either, so power output isn't what it is later in the day.
BTW, safety tip for you married guys -- If you're getting sent out of town on business and decide to do an interval set at 4am, don't run the volume for your workout DVD at the same level as usual even if you're in the garage. Sound carries more than you'd think.
When I finished my workout today, my wife informed me that listening to some guy was yell "Hammer! Hammer! Hammer!" or "Dig! Dig! Dig!" while music switches between fast and slow is not conducive for sleep or a happy woman...

If it stays up for more than 4 hours, see your doctor.

To the OP:
This is why you should ride your bike outdoors.
My wife would not have been as pleasant as your wife seems to have been.
Did I mention my mother-in-law, who lives with us, her bedroom is next door to the garage, this would not have been good, but it certainly helps keep it down!!!

FWIW, I commute to work in the morning at around 7 AM, and home around 5-6 PM. It is 9.56 miles. I just about always stronger in the morning than the afternoon.

Making a kilometer blurry
HTFU. I do a 1 minute interval out of my driveway to start my commute at 6:30am.
