These are what Carmichael calls PFPI: Peak and Fade Power Intervals. I call them IPUF: Intense Pain Until Failure. The idea is that you jump hard as if you're trying to get a gap, and then hold on for two minutes as hard as you can go.
I did well with the "Peak" part of the interval, and I rock at the "Fade". But the "power" part of the Power Interval was a little wanting.

Please tell me you are not still doing these workouts on the trainer in this weather!?

Hey DJ-
No way man. I've found that Beach Drive in the park is perfect for interval work. I can just rip through stop signs and lights, and fly past cars on either the right or the left side without even slowing down, if they have to stop for whatever reason. And it's perfect for training with a couple of teammates. A lane is wide enough to ride 3 abreast, so we'll do nice slow recovery ride chats through there for hours. Never see any of those park cops around to tell us otherwise. Don't know what they're doing - probably doing training rides longer than 45 minutes, which takes them well outside of the park...
Although when I got home yesterday and out of the 86 degree sun and parked my bike in the nice cool 62 degree basement, I almost missed the trainer. Almost.
