Century PB - 5.39.45 (Well pleased!).Silent Pool-Ashington-return & repeat 3 miles short. 1st 50- 2.43+, 2nd- 2.56, first 10 (20mph!) wind-yet HR below av
Messed up food, tried jam sandwiches & was barely able to eat (dizzy for last 50). Back to buns & oat/sugar bars. Nearly wiped out turning L at T junction. Drifted out and driver didn't see me, leaving tiny gap b/w hedge & van. Unclipped and fell (getting worse), just small elbow bruise.
Post mortem: Nutrition- stick to a variety foods that have worked and rotate (PC).
Eat earlier! Banana before start.
Lower pressures- 90/82 still too high. Consider "wide" 25 tyres.
Swop out for best saddle.
Dropping bars worked but sweet spot for over 80k is a little higher.
Pacing- HR early is low & should be below average for better effort/pacing, not seen the reason online. Very narrow optimum HR range.
Legs - Well fuelled CV will cope fine, long distance is about stronger efficient legs. Sweep spot, hills & longer rides, not much THR work.
