Saturday: 120 mile bike; 2 mile swim; abs

2 mile swim in the morning. Then came home and took a nap. Then onto the bike. 5:30 with a HR cap of 138bpm. 120 miles. 230w. 135bpm. I felt like I was ready to explode for most of the ride. It took a lot of discipline to stay below the cap. By the end of the ride, however, I definitely wanted to get off. 3-4 hours is fine. 5+ hours is still a long time no matter the effort/pace. My ass was hurting.

What is your race number pimp?

Isn't your race in a week? Don't you feel that 120 miles is a bit much for right before the race? What is your tapering strategy?
