Day 215

Went out to Iona with Ben today.  Started out pretty mellow, but I wanted to slip a few harder efforts in for roughly 10min at a time.  I didn't want things to be too structured, just wanted to have fun with Ben.  So I just asked him a few times if he'd be ok with us picking up the pace for a bit and it didn't bother him.  So not a very structured workout, but I felt like it was pretty hard all the same.  We also had a lot of wind, so there's that extra feeling of difficult when you're slogging along on sections that are normally much faster with much less effort.  In the end, we did 61.16km in 2:04:30, for an avg speed of 29.5km/h and avg power of 182W (202W normalized).  In the end I felt pretty good, maybe could have kept that kind of pace for another hour or so, but I needed a nap and a feed before work, so there really wasn't time.
