Good point! I almost never use the web Strava, I just went there to grab some data for my post when I felt like I had less power on the bike this morning.
Changing the pop-down to the last week I am still down about 10 watts on average. So I do think I was off my pace a bit this morning. My average watts and NP are also down on my AM rides relative to others.
Re: the other suggestions, I might have had a bit of alcohol left in my blood. The pandemic opened my alcohol cabinet wide, now I often have a nightcap whereas before it was more like wine with dinner. I will make a point to pay attention to that and see if it is a factor.
