Bentonville is one hilly...

This morning I was once again on the bike trainer. I rode the Bentonville course that Ian gave me. I must have forgotten how hilly that course was. It was up and down the whole time, which makes it hard to really get into any kind of rhythm, but good for training. Can't imagine actually going to Bentonville, AR and riding that with the wind and elements!

I averaged 215 watts and just shy of 22 mph for the 40 mile trip. HR was around 120. So crazy how much lower my HR is on the bike vs. the run.

Big day tomorrow with the 50K trail run in KC! I must admit I am a little nervous. One, I have never run that far before and two, I don't run trails that often. I am expecting the course to be muddy and difficult, so hopefully I will be able to make it through. Luckily the race is three 10 miles loops, so if I get in trouble I can just drop down a loop and do 20 miles instead.
