Haute Route Watopia 2021 Stage 1
I really didn't understand what I was signing up for here. I figured 34 mile group ride, so under 2 hours; however, the climbs were significant, so it went quite a bit longer than that. I was sitting around 255 (of about 340 or so) early and 240 at 4 minutes, but steadily moved up as the riders spread out on climbs and got to 180, I think. Endurance worked in my favor as HR never really got very high (spotty quality of the HR recorded by the Garmin, but I had the Fitbit on the other wrist to confirm). I could make up a lot of ground on people in the last 20 minutes, but when I was done my quads were quite shot - I think I kept the gears high on the climbs so cadence dropped and resistance increased.
