Training objective: 2-3 hours at a hard tempo pace with the cadence between 65-75 rpm's and the heart rate at 150 obpm's. Coach says not to hill, just a solid hard and consistent pace with the last 30-40 minutes as hard as possible. Saw the black clouds and thought for sure it would rain, so started out with my rain jacket - that was a sweaty mistake! Finally pulled it off while underway at about the 7.85 km mark after slogging up the Spar Bult/Hill - it was like wearing a garbage bag... Gave it on the tar and through the rest of the ride, but had a hard time keeping the heart rate at 150 (often it was 145-147 bpm's). A fair bit of wind against from Tramonto to the end, but that's about par for the course. I really thought I would have more PR's or Top 10 Trophies. I created a segment for this whole ride (same route I did yesterday) and I only finished 48 seconds slower today. That's pretty good considering the slow start with the jacket nonsense early on. I created some more segments after the ride and see I've got more Top 10 Trophies and KOM's (again, there are very few segments around here, so I have to create a few so I have something to measure m progress!).
