Today's ride

Cranked out 106.2 mile ride today in 5:47--this works out to 18.4 MPH. A nice step up from the 95 miles @ 17.5MPH of last week. This is equivalent to a 6:05 IM bike split. Not bad considering traffic, stops (got lost twice and stopped for new fluids 4 times), road bike and non-aero wheels/helmets, warm-up, 95 degrees and lots of wind! I'm pretty sure I could do a 5:35-5:45 right now at IMAZ no problem.

I felt great--really strong--lots of 190-220 watt tempo work. I was in my aero position for over 4 hours. Plus, I just completed a 7 day stretch with 386 miles on the bike.

Can you hear me now?

LOL--I love to say that!
