A little more Tempo

Today was an interesting ride. I spent 2 hours and 10 minutes at 195 watts average (with one little attack where I hit 932 watts for 2 seconds and another where I hit 844 for 5 seconds). The ride was over mostly flat roads with variable ~10 - 15 mph winds, for an average of 18.6 mph

Just 8 weeks ago, that average power was above my threshold and I could have just barely held that intensity for an hour.

I can't believe how fast my fitness is coming back. I know this speed of progress won't last forever, but it's still exciting while it lasts.
