Two moments

1The descent

From 5.2 km to 12.3 km

7.1 km · -4.4% average · 42.2 km/h · 125 bpm, peaking at 136

You held 42 km/h down the Kato descent without backing off — your heart rate stayed up through it, which means you were pedalling hard rather than coasting.

2The climb

From 25.0 km to 25.9 km

0.9 km · +46 m at 5.2% · 13.4 km/h · 134 bpm, peaking at 142

On the climb out of Gitaba near the end you were grinding at 13 km/h but your heart rate barely shifted from what it had been all ride, which means you weren't chasing the pace — you set one your engine could hold and stuck with it.
