Cycling 5:40:44 [3] 100.27 mi (3:24 / mi) +1054m 3:17 / mi
ahr:138 max:148 shoes: TCR
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.

Cycling 42:00 [3] 13.1 mi (3:12 / mi) +135m 3:06 / mi
ahr:142 max:156 shoes: TCR
Just got out for a short dusk ride, A246 to Dirtham Rd.Legs still tired from Sunday. Out at 16.7 into slight headwind, total at 18.9, so around 21 coming back, building up to THR by the end.
C enjoyed the return, much to my delight, worried he might struggle with the pace change, that did at least build.
