30/30's, outside

Started the day with my 6am spin then lifted for 30 minutes. Late in the day I went to Ault park for the 30/30's. It was cool, upper 40's, but sunny. Rather than doing the 3 sets of 10 I did a set of 15, a set of 10 and a set of 5. The first fifteen had an average of 595, the second at 583 and the third at 576. The first set started out with 30 seconds at 661 avg. There were three other efforts above 600 (607, 600 and 624) and four in the 590's in that first set. That set certainly took its toll on the next two. I hit above 600 just once (611 in the third set) and was only in the 590's four times in the last two sets. Theres no doubt that doing these outside and being able to basically sprint out of the saddle and shift more effectively than inside accounts for the bigger power. Hr was pretty consistent both in and out and that really is the goal. While I use average wattage as the motivation the real idea with these is to get that rapid beating of the heart with little to no recovery between each effort. Strengthening that left ventricle will allow me to push more blood with each beat.
