Did my oracle rd ride again and this time attacked it a bit differently. The main difference was that instead of constantly trying to push my HR to say 2.8 or 2.8 when I hit the flatter or downhill stuff I would generally just let it chill out at say 2.2 or 2.4. The idea was that last time I hit my wall on the way back wasn't able to take advantage of the generally downhill course the way home, so this time buy not pushing so hard up front I would have more left in the tank for the way back. It worked too!! I was pretty fresh most of the way back and was even able to lead a little group from steam pump village all the way to 1st. Now maybe I was just in better shape, or maybe I was able to use better nutrition but this defiantly was the better way to do this. Also damn wind sucks! I had no more turned off onto the bio sphere road then the wind just started to howl and didn't let up tell Catalina. Shit that was demotivating and slow. Oh well. Overall I'm quite pleased with my results.
