Innsbruckring Race (C)
AVG Power 243
AVG HR 143 / Max 151

I went down in a blaze of glory! Can't remember when I blew up this spectacularly. Oh wait, I can remember... 2 days ago!!

I didn't sign up for EAGLEMAN 2020... but I booked the hotel room.  Just in case.  My good buddy American Triathlete Michael Scott Hall is normally my partner-in-crime for this Race, but he has a lacrosse commitment that weekend.  So I'm trying to rope my other gluten-for-punishment Casco Bay Swim-Run partner to join me in participating in North America's longest running and most iconic 70.3 race.

WORLD OF FUSION Race (C)
AVG Power 232
AVG HR 144 (156 Max)


Stayed with the first group for 20k of flats — no problem. Stayed in the very back of the pack and drafted like a criminal. Covered all the breaks/ gaps. I knew I needed to conserve all the energy I could for the 2 climbs on the back half. 1 mile into the first climb — BOOM!!💥— giant explosion. Pedaling squares with 2 miles left to climb, plus another long climb to go - so I unfortunately pulled the plug. Save it for Innsbruck - my flat, Fat Boy Race.

Outside Aerobic Z2 Run
AVG HR 121

Haven't Run outside in 9 Days!! Been all indoor treadmill/ Zwift. I want to try and get at least 1 outside Run in a week so the legs don't get too soft from TM.

Thankfully, last week I just completed the Zwift "Kona Mission" - ride 112 mles, run 26.2 - and you're entered to win a brand new Specialized SHIV, decked out in orange with the Zwift colors.  And it turns out I need it cause upon another visual inspection of my beloved Cervelo P3, there's a substantial crack dead-center of the top tube.  I must admit I cried for about :30 seconds when I first saw it. 

It's silly, I know, but I Love my bike. 

Not like I love my wife, kids and parents -- of course!!  Hopefully Cervelo offers me a nice credit toward a crash replacement.  Maybe I can swing a new Cervelo P5D.  We'll see... 

EDIT:  Crap, 2018 Zwift Kona challenge was a free Shiv.  This year the grand prize is just helmet and bike computer.  Weak.
