Brick

Got out for my second brick of the week today. Trying to find a challenging 2 hour route and decided to do an older one I rode last year. It used to take me just about 2.5 hours, but today I crushed it. Finished in just over two hours. Good mix of flats, rollers and hill work and it was much easier than I remember.

Transitioned to the run and felt solid. Legs were good but the heat was getting to me. I took one gel on the ride and probably should have taken another before I transitioned to the run. Climbed the first couple hills steady working to get the legs and then found them around the 5 minute mark. I'm pretty sure I ticked off 7:30 for my first mile and my HR wasn't above 160. Settled in for a steady pace for the rest with HR around 155. It was hot today, which is something I haven't trained in for sometime. Need to remember to take in more fluids as the temps rise.

Summary:

Ride:

Time: 2:08

Avg HR: 147


Run:

Time: 38 mins

Avg HR: 152
