Call sucks

Workout Summary: morning spin 15 miles (50')/pm run 8 (60')

Late start. Got called 2:45 am last night and again at 4 from the hospital. Chasing a 14 hour day with 5 hrs sleep, not a good formula for good workouts.
So, I needed to do the workout...I just pulled back a bit and didnt push it.

6:30 am: Spin 50 minutes, 8 min wu, 4 min cd.
Set 1) 6 X 2 min spinervals. Cadence 90-95 and 54/23 gear. Locked power at 200 then increased 10W each interval. Rest 1 min at 152W and 50 cadence.
1 = 200 watts/HR ave 111/HR max 114/HR end of rest 84
2 = 210/105/116/91
3 = 220/111/121/89
4 = 230/116/129/93
5 = 240/119/132/99
6 = 250/125/136/102
3 min easy spin recovery

Set 2) 50% of above workout using single leg. 6 X 1 min (12 total) on 30 sec rest. Held cadence at 70-75 and small chain ring. Started watts at 100 on each leg, then increased 5 watts per set (1/2 of the above workout).
HR below 110 on all of these. These are almost purely muscular endurance. The 5th/6th sets at 120 and 125 watts each were the tough ones. Becomes very apparent that my left leg is weaker over 120 watts. Burns more, and a bit more difficult to maintain cadence.

6 pm run: Ran with the girls on the team. easy. Ran 3200 meter on track striding every straight, total of 16 strides. Zone 1 for entire run.

Diet:
Breakfast: cup hot apple vinegar water, then 4 egg white omelet with vegies and a little bacon, 2 oz swiss cheese. 12 oz tomato juice. Late morning, small coffee.
Lunch: Thai wheat noodles and broccoli, cabbage salad, diet dr pepper.
Afternoon: small coffee, 1 grapefruit.
Dinner: 8 oz sirloin, broccoli, 6 oz noodles. 1 beer. 1 cup light ice-cream later.
