during the brief discussion i explained that each round should yield a higher average wattage simply due to a lesser time on the bike. depending on how the athlete decides to nail the first round my idea could go well, or horribly wrong. today was more of a mental struggle than anything. we can see the physical output displayed in wattage, the mental struggle is also displayed during the 2nd, and 3rd round (digging a hole too large in the 1st or 2nd round). this workout will become a staple in the gym not due to the physical demands, but to create a situation short enough that the athlete wants to give up physically and mentally.
