Screw it, why not. I was feeling good on my run Saturday in the rain. Decided to finish a 1/2. I'd never sniffed breaking 2 hours. 1:58. I had a couple stoplight crossings in there for a breather, but I'd trade that any day for not having the hellish hills in my part of town. So I'll call it fair.
Sure, probably trashed my bike fitness for a week. But, was worth it to finally say I "broke 2" for a 1/2. Forget the cute finisher medal. I know I did it, and that's good enough for me.
Next up, go for a 10mi hit this week in full TT kit. I've done the 25'er. Now the 10. Then call it a "Covid season".
I'm currently in "negotiations" with the wife over the winter Zwift setup. I need it routinely setup so I actually do it. I'm angry it was setup then yet again relegated to setup/teardown. Which is a pain with a heavy smart trainer.
This winter I want to gain 20w on the hour TT power. I've done 252w legit for the hour, including coasting the 3 corners each lap. So, 270w shouldn't be too bad.
