13 September race
written 16 September
This was the time trial, a 1.6km flat course, straight there-and-back. I prepared well for it but found that I couldn't get my heart rate very high again (just like yesterday) and decided to ride conservatively.
The next stage was later in the afternoon and with a small gap between the top riders it was going to be a hard ride. I was quite concerned about my recovery from Thursday and keeping up on the climbs.
Stage 3 - Obihiro
Stage place = 84 (+0.25)
Overall = 54 (+10.11)
Distance = 1.6 km
Bike time = 0hr 2min 43sec
Avg speed = 35.3 km/hr
Max speed = ?? km/hr
Avg HR = 170 BPM
Max HR = 178 BPM
> 180 BPM = 0 min
2008 total = 11009 km
