1) Average watts: 252w AP, 252w NP
2) Average speed: 25.6mph
3) Distance: 40k (25mi, not 24.89mi) @ 58:22, 250ft, each lap was 8mi, of that 8mi 5mi good pavement 3mi bumpy, air density 1.1874 so not fastest time of year but not winter yet
4) Rider weight: 158lbs, 72kg
5) Describe bike and wheels: 2008 Felt DA, HED Jet 9+ 23mm GP5000, HED disc 25mm GP5000, Silca latex, BP 3.3 suit, Poc Cerebel, Giro laceups no covers, 1x with 54t and 12-25
6) I simply could not keep my HR up and the power where I wanted it for the hour. This was a "just do it to say I could" kind of ride. I missed the regional TT race so just wanted to do SOMETHING. Just went out before lunch after a snack and rode it.
Freaking mail delivery person and hard stops at the intersections cost me some ticks on the clock.
I feel good finally breaking an hour for 40k. I knew I could. Now, just need to get the hour power more dialed. With 5 to 7bpm on the table the whole ride, that's easily 15w. Ughhh.
Pictures are on ST if you search for Felt DA and my username. Pic of bike is in the Strava post.
