The day I've been waiting for

It seems like it's been forever since I've had a day like this one. Today was an all too rare combination of really decent weather and relatively good health. I'm still coughing a little every now and then, but this chest congestion is on the run. Sunny and high in the 70's today didn't hurt it any either.

It's been a while since I posted one of these workout power statistics lists. Here's the one from today's effort:

 Entire workout (178 watts):
    Duration:      1:30:50 (1:31:07)
    Work:          972 kJ
    TSS:           108 (intensity factor 0.845)
    Norm Power:    224
    VI:            1.26
    Distance:      43.62 km
              Min   Max    Avg
    Power:     0    667    178    watts
    Cadence:  29    122    89     rpm
    Speed:     0    55.2   28.8   kph

Trust me, it seemed a lot harder than it looks there in black and white. It's probably just that I'm not quite all the way back at full capacity yet.

To be sure my fitness isn't anywhere near where it was a couple of weeks ago; but I also think the congestion in my chest prevents my lungs from delivering as much Oxygen to working muscles as they can normally. I'm looking forward to getting back to normal, whatever that is, very soon.
