22.00 mi in 01:10:00 hours at 18.86 mi/h on Specialized Transition Pro. [Cycling] Super-max effort time trial intervals...7 sets, 1mi on/1mi off...tonight's speed seemed to be limited by leg strength rather than heart rate...effort with 84-92% max heart rate...sky was pretty dark when I got home...getting close to unsafe to be on the road!!!
26.00 mi in 01:20:00 hours at 19.50 mi/h on Raleigh Team. [Cycling] Tuesday night practice race...everyone seems to have settled on fast tempo pace with no attacks for the fall rides...fast, relatively smooth paceline ride...however testosterone starts flowing as the finish gets close...3 of us tried to get away on little climb ~2 miles from finish but was not successful...entered final km in a good 3rd place...patiently waited for ~200m mark...jumped hard and crossed finish line first...race loop: 17mi @ 24.3mph...
11.00 mi in 00:40:00 hours at 16.50 mi/h on Raleigh Team. [Cycling] Easy spin as thunderstorms approached...riding and watching the sky...storm cloud followed me home...5 minutes after walking in the door the bottom dropped out...
34.00 mi in 01:50:00 hours at 18.55 mi/h on Raleigh Team. [Cycling] Another hot, humid afternoon ride...rolling hills in the sandhills area...hard ride...lower back tightened up, spasmed a little, on last couple climbs in the last 4 miles...possibly agravated by slight dehydration after spending too many hours in the heat outside over the weekend...I'm ready for summer to be over...
