PM: 2 hours 53' total - Thursday Night Dirt
I thought I would make it on time, but the group was already ahead and it was a single group from what I gathered from a group who was slow rolling, so I chased the entire time, catching a few people, but essentially I turned the ride into a time trial, which worked quite well, but with a smaller A group I would have been much faster. I was really ready for A group this week, but oh well. Life is happens.
Loop data: 28.3 miles in 1:24:09. 20.2 MPH. 275W. HR 161.
My heart rate stayed quite even throughout and never got above 168 coming up Dequindre, so I was pleased with the effort. It was challenging, but I wasn't fully 100% race effort. I think I could have pushed 290 if I had hit it a bit harder and was closer to the upper 160s.
I mixed my bottles to race strength, which I think helped because I probably took in 90 grams of carbs in 90' roughly.
