4/16 - 24.5mi, 2523ft. Thursday Night Hill Repeats and blackfly eating contest. First ride of the year where I felt a bit overheated but it was only 75 on the pavement or so. First climb @5min23sec was 15 seconds off
PR but 41 seconds faster than the last session two weeks ago.
244.6/500 miles, 12631'
About 1.5 miles/day off pace for 500, but I should make it. MN Ironman Bike Ride will get 115-ish of the remaining 255.4 miles if the weather cooperates. Won't make 30k feet of climbing goal, I'll be 5k short, I think. Thanks week of snow and ugly weather. Can't push any harder to make up the difference because I'm on the edge of overtraining because I am started out harder than I should have. Reality and ambition are not matching up, heh.
