200 W – somewhat ok to hold. Stay focused, you can do it.
210 W – didn’t feel the difference
250 W – RPE 8-9 was able to hold for 5 minutes, then switched from “erg” to “standard” mode. Can’t hold anymore.
200 W – RPE 8-9. HR is really high (163).
225-210-200 W – pulled as prescribed (RPE 9). Barely held cadence of 85-90. That’s all I’ve got…

55 minutes into the workout. 35 to go
Can’t hold 200 W
Completed remaining part of training to the best of my ability:
180 W – HR 156 (unusually high for this wattage) – Cad 80

Overall performed better than expected, however not as prescribed.
