As this is a recovery week, the distances are shorter and the overall intensity is lower.  The course was basically a loop from the coast, inland around Penasquitos canyon and back.  Total distance was just over 26 miles, and climbing was more than 1800′.  Not a terribly difficult ride at this stage in our training program, but it did have moments as we had to go up Sorrento Valley, Black Mountain, and Torrey Pines.  The elevation profile was interesting and I wouldn’t consider this a “flat” ride.

I felt good overall, and even climbed up inside of Torrey Pines and  didn’t come close to max HR like I normally do.  

I am now using Garmin Connect to upload my training profiles, which plots the routes against Google Maps instead of the more basic mapping in Garmin Training Center.  I occasionally used MotionBased.com, but uploading to the site was always hit or miss.  Connect seems more reliable and has less issues uploading data from my Forerunner 305 and Garmin is migrating away from MotionBased anyway.
