90 minutes at RPE 4 on trainer or road. Try to maintain aero posture during middle 40 minutes. Take your tools along and stop for adjustments as necessary to keep comfortable position without sacrificing power. You'll find that this position will vary as your flexibility and strength changes. Keep notes in your log of adjustments fur reference.

We'll do this again at the end of the week to test positioning.
