Wednesday: 112 mile bike; abs

Now I know why I was struggling so much yesterday. I didn't calibrate my computrainer correctly, which I only figured out 2 hours into my first ride this morning. Again today, it was unusually tough just to hit 180-190 watts. But I wasn't wearing a heart monitor to get more feedback and just assumed that it was normal as it would take a couple rides to get going again. 2 hours in, I decided to recalibrate, and once I did, everything felt much better.

a.m. FL: 2:49:35; 188w; ###bpm; 82rpm; 19.8mph (was probably closer to 220w based on effort)

p.m. FL: 2:42:20; 213w; 131bpm; 81rpm; 20.7mph
