Charles Kyle wrote Rode out to Conte's in Bethesda and picked up a few guys, we pedaled out and met a 10 O'clock ride. The field was about 50. The pace was not too bad I held on for a while then got dropped on a climb. I don't think that I could have done much more. BUT I am not happy I got dropped. Basically between the 2:03 and 2:07 I had to do several high intensity climbs and chases. At 2:03 we went from 17.4 mph to 32 mph in about 30 seconds. That required a 333 watts effort to get there including a peak 5s at 902w, and hr about 155. I knew I had burnt a match and thought to myself at the time, this is going to cost ya. 3 minutes later, we had a 13.5% grade over 14 seconds, my wattage average was 411, but still at 27 mph and HR was 138 (recovered well). But my LEGS were HEAVY, I just could not keep the effort at that level, once they got away from me there was no catching back on. Finished out the ride by myself. Figured out I hate accelelaid. Could not drink it as fuel. Garmin Edge 705 EDGE705 ***
