Comments:

This was so freaking hard. My heart rate wouldn't drop down for about 25 minutes. It was staying steady around 210-215. I think I should have stopped and let it calm down but I couldn't bring myself to stop. After it dropped I gained a lot of power and then I could bring up my cadence. Then it was windy and that sucked
What would you do differently?:

Stop to relax my heart rate.
