Saturday afternoon brick

Well, I thought I would take the bull by the horns and put in some hard work today, and see what came out. And glad I did it.
Bike Stats:
Distance 61km (38 miles)
time 1 hour 58 minutes
ave speed 31.4 kph (19.5 mph)
max speed 58.5 kph (36.4 mph)
Ave hr 157 bpm
Max hr 186 bpm

Particularly satisfying ride, over a hilly out route and flat back. But in very blustery conditions. Dry and sunny, air temperature warm but wind still cold.
Good strength to finish the ride, averaging 40 kph for the last 20km. No tail wind either!

Nutrition : 2 x 750ml SIS Electrolyte. 1 500ml water.
2 Power Bar gel sachets, 1 of them caffeinated. I SIS sports cereal bar(not again - good nutrition but too chewy!!)


So landed back home and changed into run gear.
Did just over four miles at gentle 9 minute mile pace - 36 minutes and 32 seconds. Felt ok, legs a little tired if anything, but had good stamina to feel strong a the finish.

All in all a very positive session. And looking good at the minute for the duathlon on the 25th March. Bike handling confidence coming back, the more I'm out on it.

Note to self: clean bikes tomorrow, and Plasma in for a service on Monday!
