70.3 miles of pure fun!

April 15
Ride to work around the north end with Bramski. Watched a gorgeous sunrise, climbed Juanita hill - great start for the morning!
Ride from work home over i-90, also warmup for my interval workout
Interval workout on the trainer
10 min warmup including 4 x 30 seconds single legged drills each leg
4 x 6 min hard with 3 min rest in between
Targeted 190-200 watt for the intervals.
# - AP - AHR
1 - 194 - 167
2 - 194 - 170
3 - 191 - 172
4 - 190 - 171
Looks like I started out just a bit too hard and output a bit less power towards the end, but pretty happy given the hard ride in the morning too. Surely felt like puking at the end! Success

Trainer warmup before the race
10 min @ 140s HR
5 x 30 sec hard (up to 175 HR)/1 min rest
3 min easy
Olympic view road race
Great course with some rollers and fun turns, no major climbs, 2 x 18 mile laps
Felt strong during the race and felt like I was executing on my strategy of staying up front in 2nd/3rd row and to the left (because of a nasty 180 degree right turn).
Got a flat with a few miles to go, got back on the bike and finished the course after changing the wheel, but didn't catch the pack :( Haven't had good luck this bike racing season - out of 3 races, one chain drop, one flat when i felt strong, and got dropped once :(
Oh well, it's still good speed work and good expericence, I'd rather take flats here than in the triathlons...
Bricked a quick run after the race. Went easy, but legs felt really good - need to start ramping up my running again, recovery from the marathon is over
