It was supposed to rain today. Turns out that the clouds rolled in, but no rain (yet). I decided to ride in-doors. I chose the Watopia Mountain Route. I felt good from the start. I knew right from the beginning that my legs were going to feel good. It took the usual ~10 minutes to get to the base of the climb. I started moderate. I was doing over 3 W/kg from the get-go. I was keeping the power down over the bridge, but not so much. The ascent was a steady pace between 3 and 4 W/kg. Stainding most of the time. And, in the saddle when the gradient let up. The miles went quick. I was mostly paying attention to time. Doing the numbers in my mind. I definitely like this route better than the reverse mountain route. The scenery is more engaging. You can sort of loose yourself for a few moments, to let the time pass by. There were over 3000 riders on this map, today. I was mostly passing people (on the climb). After making it to the tunnel, I kept the power down. Keeping in mind that there’s a slight downhill where I can recover. I was able to remain standing for that duration. From there, it was the rolling terrain, and the brief climb to the summit. I posted a time under 28 minutes. It didn’t register a PR, but I think I was close. I followed up with the bonus climb. Doing about 3 – 3.5 W/kg most of the way. Peaking, towards the top. The downhill went quick. I tried to keep my mind occupied. Thinking about the pace, in terms of minutes per mile based on the metrics provided. When I got back to the island, I kept the tempo going. Out of the saddle, frequently, even on the lower slopes. Lastly, I put in a good dig through the sprint zone. Posting a PR. From there, it was to the start/finish. Again, no PR posted, but likely close to one. Concentration was really good. Balance and form were good. Gear worked great. Although, the trainer moved around, quite a bit, as I was digging. I had to constantly shimmy the bike around to keep in alignment. Maybe I just need a stick floor mat. Ailments, next to none.
