Training # 15 - RTB Prep
It had been almost two weeks since being on the bike. Wednesday’s workout was one of ease. Ease into it. It was hard to take it easy. I wanted to go fast. By Thursday’s workout, I really wanted to go faster. I did some hill climbing at LT and for 23.5 miles. Net elevation gain was 2,422f ft at a 16.5 average. I managed to hit 45 mph on the descent down Terwilliger.
It felt good.
I’ll have plenty of legs for Saturday’s Reach the Beach. We’ll be taking it at a decent pace of 16 mph total. Totally doable. I’m interested to see how much legs I’ll have at around mile 85. My last century was brutal for me at that time. I want to see if I can pick it up the last fifteen miles. We’ll see. It’ll be interesting with the overcast weather. I bet it’s going to be wet, but that’s okay. Bring it.
