PM: 5 hours 24' (93.3 miles). 204W. HR 145. 17.3 MPH.
Long ride with some work in the middle. Decided to get something longer in as I am at a spot in my grading where I can take a quick break before getting going. This ended up longer than I intended but it is just the way it worked out. In the 40s with what was supposed to be lower wind, but it found me everywhere I turned. A mix of pavement and dirt with a bit more pavement than I would have liked, but it was fine. I planned around 4 hours or so but it got overly long. Did a 100' effort in the middle in tempo range/zone 3. I wanted to do 2 hours at that effort but just got kind of tired and muscle fatigued. It is actually a long time in that zone for a non-race situation. I did get tired on the way home but it wasn't too bad. had it been June or July the last 60' would have been painful. Roads were in decent shape, but a little rough. I had a bit too much pressure in my tires as I pulled it from the garage and it was colder in there than outside. I usually let them aclimatize a bit, but was in a hurry. Better than being too low (in most situations).
Legs were achy after the ride but sorted out after a little bit. Longest ride in some time. I think probably since September when I did a bit over 100 miles.
100' Tempo @ 240 Watts @ 157 BPM @ 19MPH
We took the boys to Canterbury Village to do the helicopter egg drop. It was equal parts exciting and anticimatic, but glad we went. I was quite pleased with the apple fritter. Definitely big enough to share, which I did with the boys.
Day 1 of the 100 push-up plan. Not too hard. I used to do them a lot, but only sporadically now, so I figured some arbitrary program would help: 10, 12, 7, 7, 9
