AM/PM: 5 hours 40' (101.2 miles @ 17.8 MPH). 202W. HR 139.
I was going to do the whole Polly Ann with some bonus dirt road miles on the way back and try for a 6-hour 100 miler on my fat bike, but that sounded too painful, so I planned on maybe a hundred miles on my gravel bike, but couldn't be bothered to get out of bed. I finally got up around 9:40, which is rare these days (though Thursday night I did sleep for 11+ hours). I didn't get out until a bit after 11. Decided on about 4 hours headed east, but my pace was good (right around 19 MPH as I was coming back west) and I had extra time if I needed it. I took it.
Started to die a bit around 80-85 miles, but it was getting warm and I was running out of fluids. Stopped a few miles from the house and got some fluids and soda and meandered and capped off the ride. About 33 new miles. Rode through Memphis. I am not sure I knew there was a Memphis Michigan. I certainly haven't been to or through it.
I saw a few deer and an unsual amount of woodchucks, which are not rare but wre strangely active today.
I had intended to get in 60-70 miles of running, but with a day off and two long rides I did't get there. Skipped my long run too, which was only 90'. It is going to be very hot this week, so I imagine I will be indoor training for most of it, which is fine. This is reason #267 I spent 4-5k on a treadmill and why I spent what I did on the indoor smart trainer. Doubles indoor do kind of suck though, but I have done it.
