Time trial with Dave and John. I started out fairly slow, not really pushing the pace too hard. Dave and I dropped John on the little climb up the bend on Espola. We waited at the top for him, then continued at a fairly steady pace. At the climb up to Poway Rd, Dave really dropped the hammer. I did everything I could just to stay on his wheel and finished just a little behind him. It took a lot out of him. My legs were still feeling it from the 47 mi on the previous day. We made good, although not great, time on Poway Rd, where we hit most of the important lights. On Sabre Springs Pkwy, I went steady but not all out, since my legs wouldn't take it. I kept the pace up decently on Ted Williams Pkwy, then John set a good starting pace on Pomerado Rd, and Dave and I kept it going. We rode pretty hard downhill, especially near the turn. Finished in 52:30, which was a good ride for me, given that there were numerous places where I could have ridden harder. I also had some margin in my heartrate to go harder.
Total mileage = 23.1 mi
Average heartrate = 157 bpm
Total elevation gain = 820'
