Brewery 74 - Endurance Pace







(click on the images to enlarge)

Garmin Connect Data

Group: Though I did not stay with the group's pace, we did have a good turn out with about 14 cyclists starting. Three went back with a mechanical, but since I did not stay with the group I am not sure how their ride ended. It seemed that the group broke apart from what I could tell and heard.

Route Description: Virtually flat for a ride in this area. Some nice quiet roads with virtually no cars along the north end of the route, such as, McEntire and Cagle road.

Nutrition Intake During the Course: (2)Hammer gels, (2)24oz. bottles with Hammer Heed/10grams Glutamine/3grams BCAA's , (3) 24oz. bottle refills with plain water at the store stops, (1)Cliff Bar, (6)Endurolytes, (1)Calcium chewable tablet, (1)Post Ride 30gram whey protein drink

Weather: Hot - 70's at the start and 93 at the finish

Training Goal: After ramping up the indoor training efforts from Monday to Thursday and a fast run on the mountain bike this past Tuesday, today's goal was to keep the ride "aerobic" or to end up somewhere near 0.6 to 0.7 IF (intensity factor). My data for today is 0.66 IF for the 74 miles and despite not staying with the group I did stick to my goal. I had 2 or 3 cramps starting about mile 60, but was able to spin through them in an easy gear.
