Thanks, I like to share different ways to see what you can do.
I rode this morning for an hour at 23.8 mph on similar terrain to a target race, feeling easy, definitely would be a KQ bike ride if I extended those numbers out for 5 hours. But the other thing to look at is heart rate. It was about 20 bpm too high to sustain for 5 hours and then run a decent marathon after. It needs to be around middle of zone 2 to get the job done on race day, and I was in zone 3 for a lot of it.
