Notes
Hard ride while my dad was also out, but of course I was essentially solo. Went really hard even though I wasn't planning on it. Got to two miles in 7:36 without much of an effort and thought I was just killing it. Of course I had a bit of a tailwind. Pretty much went hard all the way to Grafton and got my best time, about 24:38. Was killing it towards the turnaround before something knocked me down, I think wind. I struggled the rest of the way there and turned around at 45:33. Turned around the negative split came quickly. Ripped off the hill and was going 25-27 for a while. Got to Grafton in 59:52 for a record 14:19 on that 5.5 mile stretch. The wind was now less in my favor and I battled home, at 1:11:11 in Cambridgeport with 3 to go. Crushed the last mile in 2:39 for a sub-1:20 and 34:17 on the way back. Absolutely annihilated the ride today. Savage. Also, if you take my splits to and from Grafton and add them, I did 44:36 which is a record for me on that. Still gonna try for sub-42 someday, maybe next spring. Good end to the training week, got over 6 hours total. In great aerobic shape, but still so far to go and so much time to do it! Big things in the future.
