Thursday Night Dirt - Solo Time Trial Edition
Lap Data: 27.8 miles @ 20.1 MPH. 279W. HR 160.
I had 281 watts on my Garmin and 288 normalized, so I was pretty pleased. I dropped a bottle of carbohydrates, which I did go back for and I think I could have really used that.
I was looking forward to a group ride today. It was the one year anniversary of my dad's death. I was late and missed the start, so I decided to time trial the route again as I did about a month or so ago when I was late. Effort was good, HR was under control. I was trying to do 300 watts averaged or pretty close to it, but I wasn't able to. I managed 284/285 through most of the ride and the power dropped a bit the last few miles even though I still felt like I had a little bit left. It was getting pretty dark in the second half.
I stopped at the middle school parking lot to see if people were still there and they were, so I visited for about 10-15 minutes. I skipped RJ's as it was getting pretty cold already and I did want to freeze later on the ride home.
