AM/lunch: 9.4 miles.
7 x 8" Hill Blasts
I changed the warmup a bit this week and did a 5-6 mile progression. I ended up with 5.6 miles starting at 9:00 pace and the last kilometer was 6:23, which is probably the faster I have run 2+ miles (around 6:50 pace) in a few months. Did my drills and stides and got into the blasts. Cooled down 4 miles. It was cool and lightly rainy.
We are scheduled to do the Solstice Ride later tonight. I imagine it will be a bit wet and sloppy, but as long as it isn't pouring I would rather do that than laps at Stony Creek. Supposed to be around 61 miles if we end up doing the planned route.
Night: 45.4-mile ride. HR 132 (but suspect).
Rain stopped but roads were sloppy so we hit the tarred loop at Stony Creek. We made a pit stop at 8:30 for a couple beers and cookies, which was fun. It was a great time. Not the planned mileage but it’s fun to ride in a group on pavement as it’s rythmic and fast. Probably should have upped the PSI, but it worked okay.
