The ride today included five 4 minute sets including aero position at 60 rpm, standing at 60 rpm, aero at 100 rpm, aero at 60 rpm, and standing at 60 rpm, all with a HR between 145 and 150 rpm and with 1 minute rest between sets. This set was easy, RPE wise.
Next up was 20 minutes at 155 bpm and 70-75 rpm. I hit 155 bpm on the dot with my average HR, my power was 247 average, and my average cadence was 69. My perceived exertion was low, maybe 6 or 7 at the beginning, but up to 8 for the last 5 minutes. Hopefully the low RPE is a result of me being stronger than before, and not the cold's lingering effects on my body somehow raising my HR.
After the ride, I did an hour swim straight, sans one short break just after midway through. I felt good even at the end - no significant muscle fatigue or anything like that.
