80% Road Ride

I did the perfect 20k (20.15), but this time I stayed in the road position and the distance was 20.93. I also climbed over the Griffith Park Mountain twice, since a big part of Griffith Park was closed. I focused on going at 80% so I concentrated on using my gears and spinning to get up the mountain. I was smooth over the two climbs today so that my transitions were practically seemless. I still don't feel 100%, but right now I'm going to chalk it up to traveling and picking up a low-grade virus. I need to train at this distance in the road position to get a sense of how fast I can go in the 20k in Australia and get a feel for using just the road bars.
