Garmin Connect Ride Data

Group: Despite putting this together and getting an email out late Friday, we did have a good turnout with about 15 people. With the route being a little flatter and with a general downhill trend for half of the ride we were keeping a solid pace. Until we stopped at the store my average was 18.7 mph. Later I dropped off the group because of my tire had a slow leak. Instead of fixing it I stopped a couple of times to air it up so my average ended up dropping. I wish I did not have the issue because I was having a good day for performance.

Route Description: Fairly flat route with some short little climbs at times.

Nutrition Intake During the Course: (1)Hammer gels, (2)24oz. bottles with Hammer Heed/10grams Glutamine , (1/2) 24oz. bottle refills with plain water at the store stop, (1)Cliff Bar, (4)Endurolytes, (1)Post Ride 30gram whey protein drink

Weather: Heavy clouds at the start and sunny at the end - 70's at the start and 85 at the finish. High humidity and calm air

Training Goal: This group ride was thrown together at the last minute, but we had a good pace and my goal was to end with a 0.8 IF and I was just a little short with 0.78 IF. Having tire problems threw in a monkey wrench today, but through out the ride my legs felt like they had enough in them to keep up with the group and push the pace at times.
