16.4 1:56:00 166/177 Total 13.1 1:27:36 170/177 TOU half TT. Warm up a couple hundred yards to the POP and back to the start line... 6:27.6 160 6:26.8 172 6:33.1 174 6:42.1 173 6:44.6 170 - tail wind 6:40.5 169 - tail wind 6:37.5 169 6:36.3 170 6:40.0 172 6:45.8 170 6:51.9 172 some uphill 7:16.7 171 uphill 6:35.4 172 downhill 0.1 0:37.7 176 After I was done, I got some water then jogged home. 1.3 11:45.9 148 8:44.2 155 7:54.2 153 I did notice that after the first mile or two, it took conscious effort to keep my pace anywhere near the pace of the first two miles. If I remember the actual races last year and the year before, it seemed a lot more like once you started, you just tried to pass people, or keep up with them if they were too fast, or prevent people from passing you, and if they did, focus not letting them get out of sight. I don't know what amount of time that will cut off, but my average HR was more than 5 bpm less than the race last year... I got out later than I had hoped - it was after 7:00 before I started. I suppose that is like the actual event, but I hope it's cooler in 3 weeks.
