An event that ran perfectly according to plan from start to finish.
I kept a close watch on my computer throughout the ride and made sure I kept my heart rate around 75% of max on the flats and not too much above 85% on the hills.
My current position is the black dot, my planned pace (Garmin’s Virtual Partner) is the white dot and Lark Stoke, our first decent hill, is the line climbing up to the right.
By this point I was ahead of my planned pace and hadn’t been pushing myself at all.
My small lead was soon wiped out by a 24 km/h headwind and I could only begin to make it back up when the course turned east for the last 50 km section of rolling hills and the wind was then behind me.
