Notes

Crushed my route record today in the cold. Was aiming for 1:27 but I was worried the whole way that I would miss it by just a little bit. Got to Grafton in 27:10 with a decent effort. I pushed myself hard up the hill and started rolling down it. Kept going hard through to Chester. Hit the 14 miles in 50:15 and 17 in 59:30. Was worried I was tying up on 103 around here and thought I'd have to ride near 20 mile per hour from then on in. But then I got to Pleasant Valley at around 1:10:40 and realized a 17 minutes would give me my goal time. I really hammered on in and gauged my effort smartly on the hills. Broke 15 on PVR and finished in a massive PR. Super pumped! The odometer gave me a shorter distance and thus the average isn't 18 mph, but I'm still happy. Tomorrow I plan to pool run and bike, and then start running again on Monday. I'm clearly in fantastic aerobic shape, so I'm confident that I can eventually PR at all distances running. Let's roll baby!
