Ha! Thanks, glad to know I’m not the only one. 
Carpathian Peak +2. I don’t want to sound dramatic. But I will, I completely died. That was absolutely brutally hard. But, I did make it through which I am super happy about because my muscular endurance is one of my weak points that I have to work on. Overall, I am extremely happy that I finished this one.
My HR is so weird. Sometimes when I run my Apple Watch will tell Strava my average was like 200! Sometimes it will say 110. Sometimes the 110 day felt harder than the 200. I just don’t look anymore when I run. Today, I watched while I did my TR workout and it would sometimes say like 115 for the hardstarts and I know I was dying. At least for me, HR varies. I’m more concerned with what it is when I am resting.
Optical sensors/ watches are terribly inaccurate. Mine usually reads about 20-50bpm than my chest strap and occasionally the opposite, the optical sensor reads more. I think it relies on a constantly constant optical reading with you very rarely get on physical activity.l
Yea, my wife works out but never does endurance stuff and her resting HR is like 42. I’ve trained pretty consistently in the past and it never got lower than about 65. I just think I have a naturally high heart rate.

Kaweah today. I was a bit apprehensive going into it with a raised FTP but need not of worried. I felt well fuelled and the time flew by - in part helped by ticking off TDZ Stage 2 at the same time also!
Kept to power and was relieved that the last interval was slightly more forgiving but with plenty of rest between intervals I felt pretty good throughout.
LOL, I think “slumped over” qualifies for aero!
Nice!
OG Mary Austin in next to last week of SSB2MV. Skipped the last 1 minute recovery, as I was feeling a little full of myself, contemplated it on second one but told myself there’s a fine line between tough and dumb. Pushed power curve from 0:15 to 0:25 and 0:27 to 1:30.
Reckon it’s like training works.
@cmc274 I try not to think of it as being full of myself…when I feel like I’m in a position to challenge myself, I try take those opportunities, especially in training, to raise the ceiling. It also provides my mind a reference point and confidence in other situations to go for it when I am faced with a similar opportunity in the future.
Congrats and great work!
