BIKE 58 miles in 3:02. FAST out, relaxed back.
RUN 3 miles in 25 mins, FAST pace for a brick!
I needed to rides like this one during the season, not during my taper. We set out with the goal of a "nice taper ride". We had the best of intentions, but then the best of riders show up and it all goes out the window. Some awesome riders joined us today, including an IML athlete. Since we were riding on flats and straightaways, it was super easy to get caught up in the fast pace. And get caught up I did...many other taters were smarter and stuck to their goals. But the way I saw it, I could do CP's plan of 2x[60x4)] or just done one really good one. Quality over quantity, right?
The first stop at 20 miles was in just over an hour. We were flying. And I can't blame anyone else, I was out in front and doing my own pace-pushing. I had my IMWI jersey on, DC joked I was a ref. I joked back I was the pace cow. Mooooooove It!!!! LOL.
But on the way back I dialed it in. Kept it under control and didn't keep pushing the pace. Probably what I should have been doing all along!
Then DC and I did a short brick run. I blame him for the pace, some rant about Google Docs ;) I love it, I'm gonna miss this.
I kept saying...I'll taper tomorrow!
