Training objective: 3 hours at very hard tempo with a lot of hills and the cadence between 65-75 rpm's, and the last 45 minutes as hard as possible. Wow, the new Specialized Power Saddle is just what the doctor ordered - super comfortable! And I really like the lower, flat bars - way more aero and a lot more control, especially on corners at the bottom of fast descents. Kept to the target cadence, except when I was on the flats when I hit much higher RPM's, as well as the descents, of course. Pushed hard the whole way - I was aiming to do the Great Brak-Brandwag-Ruiterbos-Great Brak loop in 3 hours. Put the pedal down for the last 45 minutes, but I was already working pretty hard, so there wasn't a lot of headroom - mind you, the prevailing onshore wind added a bit extra to that part of the workout. 😁 Had my 900 ml bidon with me, but could have used another 500 ml or so as I ran dry with about an hour to go. I might stick one in my back pocket next time, as there's only room for one bottle cage on the Giant frame. Rest day tomorrow, then a short coffee ride on Friday.
