Time trial
Got some good sleep and ate well leading up to this, but my legs were tired and I didn't have good tests. I guess the two days of backcountry skiing took more out of me than I thought, even though they didn't seem like super big days. I did dial up the intensity on the last two laps of the second day, so maybe that dug deeper.
Thought I would increase my training zones from the mediocre watts I have been using, but my test watts were even lower. Even though I could tell partway through the test that the result wasn't going to be a success, still pushed as if there was something to be gained because I figured there must be some mental training benefit in that. I did manage to salvage some watts during the last 5 minutes of the 20 minute time trial.
I had originally planned to do some active recovery on Monday but that fell through. I figured that a rest day would be a fine alternative before the time trial. In hindsight, I think active recovery would have been better but I still think the tired legs might have limited the test result.
Oh well, I still know what zones I can train with, and I'll choose two days of backcountry ski fun.
