I capped a hard training week off on Saturday with a long-ish endurance ride that had one nasty effort in the middle. It's a climb about 40 miles from my place that's the hardest paved climb I've ever done. I held the KOM on it for a bit, but it was taken by a guy that drove out to the climb, hammered it twice, then drove home. Dude is a fast rider, but the principle of the thing got to me.
I rode out and took the KOM back with a time of 13:47 and a VAM of 1522. My avg HR for the climb was only 158 BPM, so I know my body wasn't exactly rested for the effort.
Yesterday and today off the bike, a few short spikey efforts tomorrow, Z2 ride on Wednesday, then gravel race Saturday.
