Only 5 sec over my PR for the course, but disappointing because of a focused (for me) high intensity week, followed by three light days. Also had good luck at the intersections. Might still be experiencing a touch of fatigue and this HSV attack hasn't helped.
In my defense, I don't think anyone else set a PR today. Segment times suggest breeze was a factor.
Coming back from rest days are hard for me, and depending on what light it is, it may not have actually been an AR day. If your heart rate was in Z2 for even a bit, it really wasn't active rest. Rest is under-rated.
