What am I missing? It looks like you absolutely nailed that workout, but have a “failed” survey.

Yeah, I didn’t understand that either. I marked it as very hard. Could that be why?
First triathlon of the season just over a week ago. Bike leg time is about par for what I usually do on this course. Big take away was I felt better than normal at T2 and the run start. 
Found that the Stryd pod I use while run training was being used as the bike power meter on my Garmin watch. 
So that data got a bit skewed. Fortunately I also use my 520+ which has never paired with the Stryd… but I started it before leaving my house so it captured my highway car driving, lol. Trimmed the activity on Garmin Connect and things look like above.
Then spent a week on-call for work Nothing happened but I’m always extra stressed thinking about what if I get called, especially overnight. This caused my sleep to suffer. Additionally got sucked back into my video gaming problem which also impacted sleep. Now my sleep schedule is all messed up.
AT made no recommendations going into this workout. It was going good until it didn’t. Third interval cadence started to drop. ERG mode. Kept it going except for 2 quick backpedal breaks. Ooof!
Hoping back on the training wagon. Lots of outside runs incoming as the temps are rising. Hoping to get some natural heat adaptation before IM Steelhead 70.3 race that is just under 2 weeks away.

I’ve always loved this style workout!
My friend just told me that USA Cycling is doing a 12 month rolling race license, and it’s new. But I looked it up online and can’t find anything. I’m excited to potentially race this year instead of next year 
we will see!

I keep trying to start my workout early enough to do an hour long one, but I keep getting waylaid and ending up with barely 30 minutes. Today I at least tried to make the 30 minutes count:
This is one of those ones with an intimidating name (rattlesnake) but it actually was not that bad.
Yesterday, I wanted to do a long easy ride, but settled for:
And Monday, I did a little threshold:
Hopefully, I will get a full hour long one in tomorrow!

San Cristobal. Did first interval felt like quitting. Did the next two. Okay I can get 6 done. Got past 6 and sucked it up and finished.

1 x 20 at threshold with three brief 30-second “rests” at 90% followed by a bunch of 4-minute efforts at threshold with 1-minute proper recoveries. I added one more to finish getting up the virtual Alpe.

Yeah when Nate said this almost verbatim on the podcast a while back I was like “Yep, that’s me…”
Bit fatigued after a monster weekend on the bike. Managed to blast through the power targets, but HR not really getting up to where it should. There’s a longer rest before the last interval, I was heading home not realising I’d one left🤦♂️. I’ve another monster day on Saturday. So all easy between now and then.
My weight is dropping rapidly with the long days at the weekend. I’ve been doing short 30 mins easy runs in the morning, aiming for the 5 work days. I’ve only managed to get 3 in the last few weeks because of the need to recover. Pace is coming down rapidly though. 
weight = free speed

I’ve been doing my workouts exclusively outside for the past month or so. I a little harder to consistently hit a target, but far more engaging. It also doubles as nice break from the screen/work during the week.

Interval #1 “uh oh, this is very very hard”. Interval #2 “oh man, I’ll finish but it’s going to take a lot to get there”. Interval #3 coach Chad recommended getting aero in the overs. I usually don’t listen to coach Chad, but figured whatever let’s make this even harder. Somehow, making the overs a bit harder made the unders easier, and by the third over I decided the workout now wasn’t hard enough 
so I skipped the rest interval to truly discover what hard felt like. Type 2 fun achieved.

Back to back threshold days made this harder than it needed to be, not that McAdie is ever “easy.” Similar to @Nope0337, I felt better toward the second and third sets, but was definitely ready to be done by the end of the fourth. Not sure if I could have done a full fifth set but still rated it as Hard (vice Very Hard).

If the Garmin is still reading the HRM fine and TR isn’t it suggests that something is blocking the signal. With my ant+ power meter sometimes I have to turn off the garmin and let TR pick it up before using the Garmin again.

My TickR is like that. It usually connects fastest on Ant+ rather than BT. I think when I have the Ant+ PM and the garmin and wifi it can just be ant+ overload for TR. I am not sure how TR works but I’ve found myself in the past having to turn off the garmin until TR has found everthing, most times its not a problem though.

I recently had to switch to PowerMatch using Bluetooth and have noticed many more dropouts than over Ant+ to Zwift and my Garmin head unit. The head unit is obviously closest to the HRM and power meter, but I also have an Ant+ dongle for the computer connected via a shielded USB cable, whereas the computer is using its built-in Bluetooth, so furthest away.

You didn’t want to skip a rest interval

Hahahah … NO! But I did most at 50% instead of 40%. Does that count?
