First Race Rehearsal Is Here

As part of the EN training-to-execute strategy, I am doing my first race rehersal this weekend. It’s not ideal because of the upcoming mini-vacation to Chicago, and the kids are doing a bicycle race in Fond Du Lac early on Saturday. So, I need to improvise. I’m looking at 100miles on the bike followed by a slow 6 mile run afterwards.
Here’s my route:

The idea is to ride steady watts and get used to lower-power riding. We do a lot of work at Endurance Nation, so this is supposed to feel easy. I’ll let you know how that goes. I really don’t know how long this will take either but since I have to go to a Brewers game that evening with friends/families from out of town I’d rather undershoot this one.
I’ll have some picks of the race later, and hopefully some good power files from the rehersal as well. My concern is the weather (hot and a headwind from the south most of the day), and the early rise in elevation from mile 7 to 14. Need to keep the watt burnage down or it’ll be a loooong day.
