Quick post to let you know I successfully completed the Wild Atlantic Way Audax in Ireland last Friday. I travelled home over weekend and now recovering. This was my A event this year.
The VO2 max long HIIT sessions certainly helped on some the ramps on the iconic climbs which peak around the 25-32% gradient range. The low cadence strength endurance came into play as well. Not a single foot down or walking moment on any hill during the entire ride. Legs and cardio engine good throughout.
Below pictures of me just as I finished on the Peace Bridge, Derry, Northern Ireland. Plus some pictures along the route. Distance ridden 2,126km from Kinsale to Derry., Ireland.
I am the first cyclist to complete the event on a recumbent.
Now in recovery mode as form hit -221 during event 
. Fatigue catching up now I’m home. No injuries or pain. No mechanicals or punctures.
It’s my 58th birthday soon and I’ll be sure to have a second celebration.
