4reps x 10min, every 13 minutes; threshold

I used 30second smoothing on this graph.  Yellow line at 300W for reference.

After doing 24 reps the day before, today was threshold day.  This was outside in awesome weather.  I had to do these on the TT bike because I currently don't have a road bike- its being built as we speak.  The cranks on both bikes are the same length now so I hope that it doesn't make a difference; I stayed out of the aero position.

I have to admit this was going to be 2x20, but at the first 7 minute mark, I felt like crap.  The TT bike has only 1 water bottle cage.  For me, it is now time to start worrying about water when training or racing (I sweat a lot).  I'm starting to see how my off-season is helping me NOW.
