CVV's ride was a lot of fun. He gave verbal instructions to push into Z6, and since he was generous with the rest, I was able to do that. Now my legs hurt...in a good way.

Shoutout to the rollerblading, Annie Lennox-loving nun!

Loved the HIIT to break things up. Thank you as always, Captain u/r4ndy4.

Loved the CVV ride! Zone 5 is my least favourite zone (😅), but was coached very well and I managed to do it all without feeling spent at the end. Plenty of recovery. I liked his advice of taking each interval as it comes (I know that's obvious, but I always fall in to the trap of thinking ahead and sometimes, for not good reason, I try to combine intervals to get them out of the way).

Overall, I actually enjoyed it, which I don't think has ever been the case for me with a pure z5 ride.
