Morning Bike Ride - L4 "Power Pulse Intervals"

More "Power Plus Intervals" today. Once again, the lengths of my interval efforts were somewhat disappointing. I would have expected about 2-2.5 minute intervals, but they were only about 1:45 per interval (after the first interval). On the plus side, it seems that I managed my power output fairly well... averaging about 290 watts for each interval, which is about +2 watts more than the goal effort. So, I got that going for me... which is nice. Cadence was a little lower than I'd like (about 88 rpms) during the intervals. That seems to be a factor of the cassette I have on the Leader tri-bike. The gearing is not well spaced on a 53/42 with a 12-25 cassette. When I put on the compat cranks and add an 11-21 cassette, I expect the gear ratios to be better, and I can select a gear that feels more comfortable at about 92-95 rpms.
