BIKE 4.5 hrs? and 62-63 miles. Ave HR 105 bpm (!)
I have that as ? because I'm not sure the garmin stopped all the time like it should. But I think it's a fairly close estimate, and judging by the ave HR I'll say it's a really close estimate. Either way, this ride went too long. That wasn't the original plan, but the end result was an eye opener.
Last weekend I also did 60-ish miles and finished in about 3.25-3.5 hours. By the end I was very uncomfortable on the bike--hands, back, neck, seat, you name it. But I was done, so the discomfort was brief. This time, the discomfort lasted another hour or so. Ugh, that hurt. I suffered. I just wanted OFF the bike.
So the lesson learned--I'm NOT adapted to being on the bike for a long time. My form is NOT strong yet. And I'm NOT up to long rides, as fun and wonderful as they sound.
My bike fit is good, I just need more saddle time.
