Yet Another Commute Record (YACR)

This morning, in the cool morning air, I did my last hard sprint intervals before the ride around Mt Rainier* with The Fed.
Sprint intervals are 1 min hard riding (170ish heartrate) followed by 1 min rest (100ish heartrate). I did a pyramid interval and then followed it with about three or four straight 1-1 intervals like this : 1-1-2-1-3-1-2-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1

At that point I realized I had a pretty good time going so I rested a bit and then went pretty hard through town. Lights could have treated me better but it wasn’t horrible.

In the end I beat my previous record from June 11th (My Commute Record) of 52:35 by 43 seconds.

Distance: 16.75 miles
Time: 51:47
Avg Speed: 19.4 mph

I guess that means a 20 mph average is within spittin’ distance…sigh.
