You know it seems like Fridays are getting to be a lot like Mondays these days. Maybe it's the rush leading up to the holidays. Escaping the office today was just that. I almost had to wait until nobody was looking and make a dash for the door. I mean really, a 4pm conference call on Friday afternoon?

When I finally called it quits it was too late to get out. My only remaining option was a ride with Kurt, my least favorite riding partner. Kurt's always up for a ride and he's always willing to ride at whatever pace I want to ride at.

Today it was a nice, long sweet spot spin. Not too hard, but enough to get a decent sweat going. I was pleasantly surprised to see halfway decent watts with a relatively low PE. I remember doing this kind of workout last year, or was it the year before, and seeing 25 fewer watts. I'm really happy to see growth in power output despite reduced intensity and duration in training over the last year because of my back problems.

I guess there's a lesson in there. Keep training through injury if you can. Whatever time you can train will contribute to better performance.

About 103TSS on the day. If you want to see it, there's a closer look at the chart after the jump.
