Or as I named it, "Jim - 0 / Palisade - 6".
My last post in this thread was all “pat on my own back”, so in fairness, time to share one where I fell on my face.
I’ve been cruising along and really pleased with how I was doing w SSBMV-I. I even had the hubris to wonder if my FTP should be set higher. Hah!!! 
And then the wheels came off the wagon. I had Palisade queued up yesterday, but bailed after the warmup when I felt it wasn’t in the cards. Today I tried again and while a little better, it just wasn’t meant to be.
I’ve had to juggle some workouts and shift things around, but I was on a roll and managed my last VO2 just fine. But that was then and this is now. Anyway, it’s very humbling and illuminating to see how the body calls the shots, regardless of what’s up in my plan. Fortunately, I have some wiggle room in my plan, so I have options here to regroup for another go at Palisade before moving on. Onward!
