Weather was looking like potential for nasty. Clouds swirling all over the place with some dark puffy stuff making it's way. Easy decision...load the road bike in the van and do some repeats/intervals at Abby Dawn Road. A couple texts later and I had a partnah in crime for the suffer fest.
Agenda....20 minute easy warm-up and then 6 x 5 min intensity at threshold with 5 min recovery and then a 15 minute general cool down. Abby Dawn road was perrrrfect as it was juuuust long enough for a 5 minute all out and then remainder was the cooldown before turn around. It was a gradual climb and then descend for every second interval.
HR monitor acted silly close to end....need to bite the bullet and get a new one...doesn't owe me anything at this stage. Shawn was a great rabbit to chase down for each interval ;) Stats:
