Got back on the turbo this week after abstinence over the summer. Thought my day to day commuting and riding would see me maintain or achieve a basic level of performance.
How wrong I was-performance has been pathetic which apart from the wheezy sweat sodden misery of the sessions themselves has been made more explicit comparing garmin stats from April. To be fair I missed prime summer months because of lingering injury following an rta but it's still really disappointing to have it spelled out to you... Finding myself newly astounded just how much more you have to give on the turbo to maintain pace and really feel yourself turning the cranks at a good cadence... this week's been like turning a tap on to discover after the initial surge there's nothing but a feeble dribble of energy.
I haz lots of work to do over winter :/
