Jul-9: Birthday "TT"

Jul-9:

BJP: Coley-DocN-Kemp-Virgil; 37.1 m.; est 1532 climbed ---> effort index = 52; 2hrs, 7min; 17.5 mph avg pace.

1st Qt. tot: 20 rides; 755.3 m.; 47 hrs, 31 min; 15.9 mph.
2nd Qt. tot: 43 rides; 2124.3 m.; 134 hrs, 59 min; 15.7 mph.
Jul tot: 5 rides; 236.3 m.; 14 hrs, 16 min; 16.5 mph.
YTD: 68 rides; 3115.9 m.; 196 hrs, 46 min; 15.8 mph.

Rolling 12-mos.: 116 rides; 5525.8 m.; 344 hrs, 7 min; 16.1 mph.

I had hoped to ride a comfortable 70 miler (or at least 53 miler), but had to settle for the expanded "TT". I pushed hard the first 17.1 miles, and again on the climb on Kemp and on the Virgil upslope. After that, I backed off a bit so that I'd be able to walk tonight, tomorrow, Saturday . . . .

An interesting thing, despite the fact that I have ridden faster YTD this year as compared to last year, I would have to average 17.2 mph for the next 694.4 miles to get the same avg pace for the same total miles as I had for all of 2008.

It also looks like I should have ridden two more miles today; then I'd at least would have had an "effort index" of 53.
