I'm trying to keep it in perspective! The climbing was pretty relentless short stuff, very rolling and not a lot of steady flat terrain, opposite of what people would expect out of Nebraska. I was even ok until 100miles, I avg 16 and had an IF of 0.7, it was tough but would like to try and tackle again with better training, I've only done a handful of long rides this year, including a much easier 100miles, not that you necessarily need the long rides to handle this type of event if properly trained and fueled, but there is something physical/psychological about being in the saddle for over 5hrs that I don't think I totally condition myself to with my 2hr trainerroad workouts.
