| A hard pull with Ken and Brad. This was our first 6-hour shift of a full day RAAM simulation. Sunny and very warm, with a strong (mostly tail), gusty wind. The wind helped keep the average speeds up, but this was still a pretty tough ride. We were pulling 1 hour (pedaling) shifts each with nominally a 30 min rest between. This 2:1 ride ratio is higher than we want for the race (aiming for 1:1 in 6-hour shifts). I caught a short rest shift by chance late in the ride and it really whupped me (15 mins between two 1-hour pulls). Recovered a little after a break at Fair Hill. Rode along the RAAM route itself - one of the hilliest parts of the whole course. Lots and lots of climb. This mileage is also higher than our goal for a shift (aiming for ~50). Still riding the old tank. |
