VO2 = 71??

Well yesterday was interesting for a couple of reasons.

We had a bit of an epic lost keys cheese......

And on the cycling front I had a weird workout. I felt fine but really struggled. I intended to set a baseline "hoods" 20 minutes followed by some over unders.

However I couldn't hold steady power and the result was only 290W. I recovered and tried a few over/unders but my heart was not in it and I quit.

When I saved the session my Garmin told me I had set a new VO2 max of 71. Which would be nice if it were true but I think it reflects more that my HR was low, only averaging 146 for the 20 minutes.
