Training route of doom!

What a ride. 88 degrees plus a 20 mph SW wind made this a training ride to remember. Follow the green line heading south, then west, then north and that is the direction I rode. Here are the ride stats.

MILES: 131 round trip from my apartment

TIME IN SADDLE: 5 Hours 56 Minutes

AVG. HEART RATE: 158 bpm, Max 183

AVG. SPEED: 20.8 mph

CALORIES BURNED: 6,509

FOOD & DRINK CONSUMED: 2 50 oz bladders from my PolarPak, 5 Endurolyte pills, 1 P.B. Power Bar, 2 24 oz bottles of Sustained Energy

PIT STOPS: 1 in Bristow to fill up hydration pak

HOW LEGS FEEL: Like Poop!

I will have another post tonight. I have been getting requests about pit stops during endurance races, and how I go about doing them.
