The first hill had majic quad burn like never before, then after that all normal, no burn, and can keep pace at target HR. What the hell happened there? How did the pins recover like that?
[edit] that wasn't very clear: burn happened after 60km of hilly stuff, on the first intense little rise on the hwy racing the cagers to werk[/edit].
Normal. First hour or so after a big hitout the day before is always struggletown.....then your body gives up conplaining and just knuckles down. Day in, day out you can adapt to increased workload and mileage.
Reminds me of when Charlie Walsh would schedule a full day of pursuit training in Adelaide.....when the boys had done 250km on the road the day before. Imagine 150km plus....on the track.
