Critical Power Test 3 - part 3

After a second week of recovery, I was rested and ready for the critical power test again. Thirty minutes hard and steady to establish the training threshold for the next four weeks.

The plan was to start out and hold 240 for the first fifteen minutes and then pick up the average five watts every five minutes. The first fifteen went just as planned and I went through fifteen at 240. The second fifteen didn't quite go as planned. I was only able to raise the average five watts over fifteen minutes. Not exactly as I planned it.

I struggled with the 245 watt threshold the last four weeks so maybe this is a good indicator that I didn't get as much improvement as I thought. Starting Monday, it's 245.
