PM: 12.3 miles, averaged 8:29. HR 144. Did some strides.
Legs were dead from yesterday’s long ride, but responded well. Most miles were lower 8s without pressing or much change in effort. It was lightly raining, which was quite pleasant. Felt great through 9-10 miles and then I had to hit the bathroom, which inevitably means very painful GI distress for much of the remainder of the day.
Sign up for two bike races two weeks from now. They are about 2.5 hours from home on back to back days, so I splurged and got a cheap hotel.
