Notes
2.5 mi w/u, 7 mi @ ~MP-ish, 2.6 mi c/d. I set out to run at 275W of power, but I was well above that for the second half of the run. Strangely, I felt more comfortable at the slightly higher effort level -- not sure if that was real or imagined, or the result of a slight tailwind(?), or the body finally warming up(?), etc. But I saw power levels in the 290's and even over 300 Watts, and I did not feel the need to back off at all.
My splits for the first 4 Tempo miles: 7:00, 7:04, 7:04, 7:07
My splits for the last 3 Tempo miles: 6:51, 6:59, 6:49
