Week #12 Another 200 miler in the books

 

Week #12 - 401 miles

Another solid week of training with a 200 miler on Saturday. Larry and I had a good day out on the bike to say the least. We headed to Beatrice first then out around Weeping Water for some hills. The wind was strong for most of the day but we were able to keep it mostly as a cross wind. The miles that we headed straight into were tough. There were also some long stretches of loose gravel. This was all very good preparation for IWAR. We will encounter all of that and more over the 340 miles. One more long ride next week and then I will start to taper off the long rides. I feel like I have most things dialed in for the race, but so much can go wrong in 24+ hours. Hopefully the weather will cooperate and no mechanicals.
