6 hours 15 minutes

100 miles on single speed road bike--46x16 (35 miles at race pace on Montrose ride--see below for details)
100 pullups
100 pushups

All of the TRX work and FST seems to be radically accelerating my cycling fitness. Did this coming off a week of travel with very limited miles.

Had never done 100 miles on single speed road bike prior to this ride.

Had definitely never done a century with 100 pullups and 100 pushups tossed in at the 95-mile marker.

Felt good, drilled it on Montrose ride section of ride (race pace group ride w/about 200 cyclists, about 35 miles of the ride) and achieved a personal best 3rd at finish (for this year).

Why IYW? Impose Your Will. A favorite of MMA announcers and a good reminder to push beyond your limits to see what's on the other side.
