XC Sking 3:58:36 [3] 54.66 km (4:22 / km) +367m 4:13 / km
ahr:139 max:160 shoes: V2 Aero XL
Got going around 7 when there was still a bit of drizzling. However, the sky indicated clearing so I got going in just shorts and a shirt. Roads were wet through so legs, rskis and boots were very dirty at the end.
Ate two pieces of toast + avocado + tomato + lemon juice before hand. Two bottles and 6 Gus along the way. Probably should have drank more and had more non Gu food.
In the beginning I went back and forth on TP hill a few times working on hill technique. Then on a bunch of the other hills I practice "herringbone skate." I'm going to need the latter and so want to be as smooth as possible.
For whatever reason, my HR was high and Garmin was shouting at me the whole way. However, it was hard to go slower. The hills in the 3rd hour were causing spikes (fatigue I guess) and that certainly pulled the average up.
Half way I swung by the car, refueled, and put on a dry shirt and socks. Ran into Sue Ellen and even though spending 20 min chatting in the middle of a workout is not ideal, I thought it would be not very nice to rush off; she definitely needed to chat and vent. Getting going again wasn't comfortable though.
Felt pretty smooth through about 3:10 then a little hungrier than is ideal. At about 3:40 my legs had about enough. But overall, a decent outing. There is no way to avoid being tired after 4 hours.
Garmin says 405m of climbing but for some reason that gets deflated in the AP download.
