Are you improving?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Sorry to interrupt the tomfoolery, but I'm pretty excited after last night's trainer session. It was my first time sustaining more than 300 watts for more than a minute or two.
I averaged 305W for 10 minutes during my second LT interval last night. PowerCommander was zeroed, and the Garmin confirmed it.
And I felt like I could have kept going, but I stuck to the training schedule. (Mostly. The target for the interval was actually 288W.)

And I'm just a little behind schedule for my first 1000-mile month! (But will get caught up after this weekend.)

10-minute LT intervals are difficult on a landscape peppered with stoplights & stopsigns.
