This could go on all night
By the time I got home yesterday I didn't really have energy left over for a workout. Now that wasn't necessarily a bad thing because I had been pushing things pretty hard the past few days. I told myself that if I expected to be at all ready for the Wednesday Night TT I should at least turn the cranks a few times.
A simple spin to flush out those tired leg muscles would be the ticket.
It's amazing what happens sometimes when you get on and get started. Once my legs got warmed up spinning became comfortable. My original goal to simply spin for a half-hour seemed trivial at the 20 minute mark.
I upped that 30 minutes to 45 minutes, and then again to an hour. After 75 minutes I decided that rather than make an entire evening out of easy spinning I should call it a day. At what point does accumulated recovery wattage become something more stressful than recovery anyway?

What are the drops?
I am guessing that you were on the rollers and stopped every 20-30 minutes to take a drink and stretch? Or have you developed the skills for drinking and stretching on the fly?
Riding rollers always seemed fun to me, but reaching down for that bottle always introduced fear and elevated heart rate.
Every 20 minutes
I always make it a point to fall off the rollers every 20 minutes or so.

I like to do that too.
