Bike intervals on the trail
Met up with Mike and Peter at the trail this afternoon. After a brief warm-up I did 2 x 10 miles at race pace plus a little. Haven't downloaded the data from the Forerunner yet, but I'm pretty sure I averaged over 24 mph for both intervals. HR was a bit high, but it was pretty hot out there as well, The effort didn't seem too unbearable. For the Hammerhead Triathlon at the end of August I would like to average 22.5 on the bike and still have plenty in the tank for the run.
UPDATE:
Speed, HR data.

Nice ride pace on the ride. Keep it up & you'll smoke the HOT course. Here's an FYI - I'm drafting you when the officials turn their heads.

Looking at the graph, if you keep it at a steady 22.5-23, you'll be okay for the HOT. Those are 2 solid intervals. You just couldn't help yourself over the last mile though. Clearly you can see how you respond when you crank up the pace. McLamb
