I slept in (6:20am), drank a nice cup of Kicking Horse 454 Horsepower coffee (the new official coffee of this blog), and set out for a nice little ride. Sticking with my plan of reducing the mileage and time at intensity of my workouts leading to Belwood, my plan was only to ride out from Lake Wilcox for 45 minutes, turn around, add a small taste of speed work, and call it a day. A very nice morning, just a bit overcast with little wind. Once I made the turn, I set off for 10 minutes at approximately race intensity. Over gently rolling terrain, I averaged 40.6 km/h from a dead start, so I still have some strength in my legs. Will I be able to hold that for ~50 minutes, and still be able to run, when I race a week from now?
I say, "Yes."
Bike: 90 minutes, z1-2, w/10 minutes @ z4 (40.6 km/h)
