My legs felt heavy today after yesterday’s workout but I still wanted to get a decent TSS ride in. I ended up getting wrapped up on a side project most of the day, so I didn’t work out until Heather came home. So we rode together again this evening while watching some more movies. I did a mostly Level 2 ride with one hour of tempo (Level 3) towards the end. I made sure I had enough food and water nearby so I wouldn’t have to get off the bike.

Throughout my tempo effort, it became harder and harder to pay attention to the movie, so we switched over to music. I finished off the ride with a 15-minute cool-down. I thought I rode for 2:15, but since I forgot to clear my PowerTap before I started, I wasn’t really sure how long the first part of my ride was. So it was an added bonus when I downloaded the ride and saw that it was two and a half hours…I think my longest indoor ride ever! I don’t have the “trainer” gene like Heather does (who’s known to put in 5-hour trainer rides). So for me, anything over two hours is an accomplishment. Exact ride time was 2hrs 31mins with 149 TSS and 230/234 ave/norm power.
