Low Cadence Climbing Intervals

I had to start my workout early to get this one done (6am). It always
seems harder to do a workout this early. I guess it takes a little
extra time to warmup and get the sleep out of the legs.
I did this workout at my usual spot - Hwy 9. I wasn't expecting my
power numbers to be anything special since I haven't done this workout
for a couple months; I was right, my power wasn't where I would have
liked, but it was still close to my threshold power. I try to aim for
high zone 4 on these intervals.
I was pretty close to calling it quits after my fourth interval. I
managed to talk myself into doing " just one more" interval. I kept
doing that until I completed all six intervals.
Overall I had a good workout. I pushed through to get all the
intervals cometed, and I was done by 8am - awesome! Legs felt just ok.
They're a little fatigued, but I'm guessing that was due to the early
morning workout.
