Two moments

1The fast stretch

From 13.5 km to 16.1 km

2.6 km · -2.8% average · 38.5 km/h · 144 bpm, peaking at 153

That pace near Swinbrook accounts for half your total distance, yet your heart rate peaked here despite the gradient being in your favour.

2The steep pitch

From 19.5 km to 19.7 km

0.1 km · +10.9% average · 11.9 km/h · 138 bpm, peaking at 145

The Asthall climb arrives late in the ride, and grinding through that gradient at your speed suggests you prioritised getting over the top rather than maintaining momentum.
