Cross came up this weekend and the plan was to knock out a 108 mile ride on Saturday over some sick terrain. We got in the first 70 over the toughest part. The ride is killer and Matt was strong the first 30 miles. On the second half of the hills he started to feel it. Getting back to our food stash he decided that was enough for the day and another 38+ was not a good option. We still had a good ride back to my house. When we got back I hit a 30 minute run and it was a good day. On Sunday I made sure we got in the second loop. A solid 3 hour ride over hilly terrain. I tried to big ring this ride as much as I could and on the big climbs not opt for the easiest gear. This was my first time hitting this ride so hard and the legs are paying for it now.
Cross was really strong on Sunday and should be happy to knock out both of these tough rides over the weekend. It was all new terrain for him and both those rides are hard. He's going to be all good for the Kinetic and IMCDA. It was great to have someone along for some hard training and to catch up. All in all we covered 120+ hard miles over two days.
Summary:
Day 1:
Ride 1: 4 hours 35 minutes
Avg HR: 144
Run: 30 mins
Day 2:
Ride: 3:05
Avg HR: 130
