Despite the fact that the wind has been relentless the past few days, this 80 miler had to be done! The first 45 miles weren't too bad since it was more of a cross wind. But when I turned into it and the road was a slight incline, I glanced down to see my speed at 11 mph and my HR at 160! That's when you know it's a good ride. After stopping at Taylor Park to refuel and refocus, I was determined to see 80 at the end. It's rides like this that I love because the confidence you gain from finishing it power you through your next tough training ride or race!
