Notes
First hour:
Went easy. Probably a little lower heart rate wise than I wanted to, but it was easy either way. Took a gel every 30 minutes and drank every 15. Nutrition was on track. At the first stop I topped by bottles off so that I would be able to finish the ride without stopping. Ended up getting some of the worst tasting gatorade.
90 minutes moderate:
Kept up a good pace. Tried to keep myself outside of Brandons draft. I didn't go as hard as I could and probably ended up keeping my heart rate about around 78%. After this finished I still felt pretty good. Kept up the nutrition/drinking up, ate 2 gels and the last half of my powerbar.
30 minutes steady:
Pretty painful. I started this at the first hill in Sunnyvale, continued through stopping at each sign and then finished up on the access road. I wasn't fortunate enough and didn't catch the lights this time through. Drank as needed through this part.
Finish:
Ate my last gel at the beginning and drank several times to prepare for the run. Had a little trouble dropping my heart rate, didn't have any headwind on the access road, but I was pretty much done at this point.
I didn't exhaust myself and felt pretty good for the rest of the day.
