And I'd think it's a bit early to be recommending any type of structured training program. The OP posted that this was his third time riding this season. I'm not sure when his season starts, but I bet many riders start their season on Jan 1 and hit their third time out by about Jan 4 or 5.

The OP simply needs to ride more.
I'm north of the border just above NY state. The season starts in early April usually but this year it's been brutal. I'm a MTB'r and just bought a road bike since my 9y old does triathlon now. I'm not new to biking but more used to technical riding through trees. Road biking is another beast to me. Just trying to gain speed and endurance as fast as possible without spending 60 hours a week on a bike.
