3x 100m 6% hill sprint intervals.
Carrying a huge 30# steel mountain bike
13 minute recovery (on the bike) between the running intervals
So… I finished 3rd in a mountain bike race, only about a half minute ahead of 4th place, and just about a minute ahead of 5th place.
Being able to run up the technical rock climb 3 times (and planning to do so vs what most others did which was try unsuccessfully to ride it) probably was the biggest reason I earned the finish I did.
Thanks, running!!!!
300m total run + about 10.5km riding
Chilly 45F (nothing like Tuesday’s 19F bike ride to preride the course, tho)
