Cycling (Z3/Z4 fun ride) 2:05:10 [5] 39.92 mi (19.1 mph) +1723ft
ahr:148 max:170 slept:6.0 weight:183lbs shoes: North Wave Tri Shoes
Plan: Z3/Z4 Just get out and ride for fun
Average speed: 19.1
Route: Mercer Island normal route CW and CCW
Physical: Felt very strong on entire ride.
Mental: We got a late start and CD had a hard stop for flag football game. So, I bailed in arboretum and rode alone. I interpreted the "fun" ride to mean I could go as hard as I wanted, so I went as hard as I could and rode this as a TT trying to get above a 20mph average. Didn't quite make it, but I really enjoyed the ride. I'm trying to get a good handle on what the legs feel and what it means towards the end of a hard ride. For sure, they burn, but they felt buttery tonight. Can't explain it any other way and thought about it for about 30 minutes at the end of the ride. Very nice feeling afterwards. Will potentially be a bit drained for Saturday's ride, but I'm looking forward to seeing how the legs respond with this effort and one day rest before riding vashon saturday.
