Nice Chris – I’d like to see your cals be a little more consistent. Do you feel like you struggled with leg fatigue or lung capacity?

Lungs hurt no doubt but the legs felt, after about the initial 10 sec, like the bike was put in a pond. Even tried getting “out of the saddle” but couldn’t maintain above 70 rpm that way.

We will be doing a lot of assault bike work – it will help a tremendous amount with leg stamina!
