Right then @Poet there’s a new grape crusher in town. Call me Dom Perignan.
In all seriousness, decent run for me today. Upper zone 2 but felt like I was constantly pumping the brakes. Every time I stopped concentrating effort/pace/hr would be creeping up, so I’d have to chop my stride length back down.
Ended up with 14.63 kms with 118m elevation (rolling, more in the back half) at avg hr of 162bpm giving me 4.19/km pace.
Then 48 min 10 k t mill 1%, really really uncomfortable all the way through constant pain in my back were I came off last week, was hoping it would subside like yesterday’s swim…. But no such look.
It best mend for a week on Sunday or I’m going to have a very long and painful race.
130k/6k brick. Bike ave watts up 20 from last week but ave speed slightly lower which was down to churning into a 11-12mph headwind for the majority of the first half of the ride. Looking forward to putting the race wheels on tarmac to see the difference, will be on the side of the road sobbing if there’s no obvious gains
