AM: 3 hours 15ish on the trainer. 30' of up/down and Long Zwift Race
This was a longer Zwift race at 2 hours 45, much longer than I have done. Typically about an hour is about right. Pretty uneventful for most of it as you can't really push too hard too early. It was only 4 of us or so actually in the race in the piker division. I started to press a little the last hour as I felt the pace was too pedestrian (I was averaging high zone 2 and I can do that by myself on normal rides). I pushed pretty hard on the last time up Box Hill and we dropped on guy hard. The last mile the two guys put in some surges. I used a power up and should have hit the downhil harder as they only hard 2-3 seconds on me. I started to stand and sprint a bit in the last 1/3 of a mile but I didn't have much. Probably needed to be in the small ring. Got in a decent effort and it was a great way to get in a bit over three hours
239 watts @ 154 BPM
We got about 7-8 inches of heavy wet snow so I switched my long ride day and my long run day. Will definitely be on the treadmill tomorrow. Everything is going to be a mess for a while with the arctic air coming in.
