Notes
Epic suffer fest combining my three main loops the normal way. Went out and was just hurting from the first climb on. Thought I'd get stronger but starting on such a miserable climb just wrecks everything. I think I felt much better yesterday because I was rarely hitting any steep grades. But there were a lot today. 4448 feet of elevation gain according to mapmyride, 4300 according to Strava. Tried to take the climbs relaxed, didn't do a great job of that. I just felt bad. Suffered on the hills. Stopped at home for a few minutes to get water and eat some food. Headed out dreading the Patch Road climb, and it was as awful I thought it would be. The second climb on the back had my quads screaming for respite. Was very happy to be done. I think I just finished off another 10 hour week.
