PM: 63-mile ride. HR 150.

Decided to take the day off from running to get a long ride in. Perfect weather. Hit some new roads and the Polly Ann Trail for a while. Probably need to start taking in more than electrolytes and water on rides 3+ hours. I felt okay, but I had a pb&j at lunch and that was it until after the ride. I took off from home to save time. It worked out fine. I really enjoyed this one.

20 x 1’ On/Off

Cool but slightly humid. I didn’t want to get burned so I started somewhat conservatively. Just under 6’ pace then 5:40ish and the later ones in the 5:30s and 5:20s. I was really jogging the recoveries by the end. Need to get this extra 7 lbs back off.

3 up/3 down.

Thursday Night Dirt. Weather cleared out nicely for us. Somewhat shorter route, but that was okay. Good ride and good time.

Day off.

Megan was out of town and I just sat on the couch and read. It was pretty great.
