By the way, last May I recorded it as 110.6 miles. The bit you were leaving out is nearly 6 miles out and a bit over 4 on the way back. There was a slight change of course due to road works in 2008, so it might be half a mile shorter this year, and Transition might grow again, making the bike shorter still.<BR/><BR/>I cannot imagine the bike miles you got in the bank already, I'm glad if I manage 6 hours a week. <BR/><BR/>Keep up the good work! I'm looking forward to meeting again in May. Bring it on! <BR/><BR/>Hanno.Hannohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04472833046398933204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4532067238805209110.post-71490304025858048892009-03-13T17:08:00.000+01:002009-03-13T17:08:00.000+01:00Hi Russ,The solo TT of the northern loop wasn't fa...Hi Russ,<BR/><BR/>The solo TT of the northern loop wasn't far off a max effort, i.e. higher than mdot, however it was the second time I'd ridden over Haria and Mirador that day and I'd done a century the day before.<BR/><BR/>The solo effort of the whole course however was following a 'rest' day of sorts and was probably at around Ironman effort. At times it felt a little above that but I got off and ran better than any of my previous three ironman races so must have been ballpark. Once Helen gets off her mac I'll take a screen grab of the heart rate profile and email it over. I did also take two stops to refuel (7 mins and 3 mins) but never know if those help or hinder to be honest?<BR/><BR/>anyway, nerdy stats to follow ;)<BR/><BR/>TomTomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09491603627277157842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4532067238805209110.post-90699316736409425042009-03-12T12:04:00.000+01:002009-03-12T12:04:00.000+01:00Sounds like a great week of training.How did you f...Sounds like a great week of training.<BR/><BR/>How did you find the solo TT? In terms of perceived effort? From heart rate it doesn't sound too bad. I'd say if you can do 160K in 5:40 as part of a heavy week then 180K tapered should be fine (I've been away too long, I can't work in miles anymore)! I'll have to give the TT a shot once I'm out there.<BR/><BR/>Three weeks to my first Ironman of the year... Nerves are kicking in and I'm starting to speculate on fitness! <BR/><BR/>RussRusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00134781805051982401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4532067238805209110.post-86061537382492647422009-03-11T12:51:00.000+01:002009-03-11T12:51:00.000+01:00cheers J,I feel pretty cooked now but am sure an e...cheers J,<BR/><BR/>I feel pretty cooked now but am sure an easy(ish) week should see full recovery and a return to maximum mojo ;)Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09491603627277157842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4532067238805209110.post-11995270385559529382009-03-09T08:50:00.000+01:002009-03-09T08:50:00.000+01:00Great week mate.
