Cleves July 30

Pretty uninspired ride at 22:43, 27.1 mph. Didn’t have that drive in the legs or my mind to ride hard tonight. Think I left it all in Cleveland last week.

Nationals, Day 2

Rode the 5k today in 6:27 or 28.9 mph for another silver medal. Missed first by four seconds. Its a short ride but had HR near max the entire time. have to say it really hurt. Not sure I’d have the other four seconds in me. I do really like these short all out events.

A little tempo

Rode 2:15 today, about 44 miles, with 40 minutes at 286 watts, HR around 135-140, for some tempo. Not as strong as last Thursday when I was at 300 for 46 minutes but I didn’t have 460 miles in my legs like I do now. Last year on this trip I rode 479 miles. Should

Todays route started with the Leelanau Trail from Traverse to Suttons Bay then to Northport, Glen Arbor, Mapleton, Cedar and back. Not as heavy on the hills but actually held a better average power at
