BIKE 50 miles in 3hrs
Another MCT ride, this one hot but probably my best 50 yet. Which means I need to get away from these paths and start finding real roads and hills to ride. The elevation change on this ride was 369 feet. For perspective, my 20 mile 3x TGP Monday ride has 604 feet.
Nailed it on the water. Didn't eat anything in-ride or after. Didn't push the pace and the average HR was 120 bpm. Fat burning pace, but not speed improvement or strength building. I guess I can break up my rides into separate goals, and doing this ride as I did fits the plan. This is my long, fat-burning endurance, time in the saddle ride. The Monday TGP is like my speedwork, sounds like I need a hills ride in my week.
I got the new aerobar rest installed for this ride, nice fix. But needs a little twist tweak to fit right. Amazing to go so many miles this past few weeks and no breakdowns or flats :) Gratitude!
