I was a weekend warrior for years. 10-12 miles sat and sunday. Did a race last year,blew up, got destroyed.
I got a road bike in the fall and started training saw results and entered same race. Pre rode it the course weekend before at almost race pace and felt great and kept heart rate around 156 or so except for hard efforts where i would get it back down.
Come race day my heart rate was 125 on start line and i never got it under 165 or so. Adrenaline? The start is a mass start with a small dirt bike pacing you. Its a open race 25miler.
Got 29th outta 93,but i was hurting and puked after the race. Lol....
Any thoughts? Yes,i got beat by some crazy fast kids. The race was one big loop.
