Yo Kurt. Check the 10 weeks to go thread.
Kurt - many big days reported under 10wks to go thread. That said, I willnpost here for my day 2 of big weekend.
This morning I rode identical 73 mile ride as I did on Friday. While purpose of Friday's ride for me was to dial in race pace steady effort, today I gave it much more gas. I wanted to see the different feelings in my legs between two intensity efforts as I jumped off the bike for a transition run. Conditions were similar between today and Friday, though there was a little more wind today during second half of ride.
Friday's ride: IF=69%, ride time =3:32
Today's ride: IF=79%, ride time= 3:23
Then jumped off bike for a run.
Friday's transition run: 60min, 8:27/mi avg pace which included 45sec walk breaks each mile
Today's Run stats: 32min, 8:12/mi avg pace with zero walk breaks
I'm very encouraged by the run, even if only about half the duration as Friday. I went much harder on the bike and was able to run quicker, straight thru with no walk breaks. The pieces of the puzzle seem to be falling into place, including nutrition which has not been as issue yet (fingers crossed it continues).
Work Works, Work=Speed!
Calling Stark and Alexander..... "still can't see me up up ahead; keep trying boys; I want some company and a draft legal EN pace line as we go back and forth along Beeline Hwy in AZ.
Stay motivated everyone!
