Two moments

1Into a rhythm

From 30.1 km to 35.1 km

5.0 km · -0.1% average · 26.6 km/h · 154 bpm, peaking at 163

Near Wendlebury in the first third, you settled into a steady 27 km/h on the flat and held it for five kilometres, but your heart rate sat noticeably higher than the rest of the ride. That's the kind of effort worth saving for later in a 145.

2The steep pitch

From 45.1 km to 45.2 km

0.2 km · +9.6% average · 13.0 km/h · 157 bpm, peaking at 160

You dug into Poundon at halfway with your heart rate well above the ride average, which is the moment when that kind of effort tends to hurt most.
