Chapter 209 - 161 Breaking the Historical Record_2
Half an hour had passed, and Li Ang’s Riding distance had just reached a quarter of the entire route, but he was quite satisfied with this pace.
Since the elevation gain of the first quarter of the route accounted for more than 25%, his performance for this segment had already exceeded his target.
The coach, looking at his own distance and time, felt his heart rate was no slower than those of the cyclists, even though he was in a car.
By now, he had started praying that Li Ang could achieve these two goals, for if he really could, Li Ang would naturally be written into the team’s history, and as his coach, he would also gain some recognition.
Time was more than half over, and even though there had been some interference from other vehicles along the way, Li Ang still managed to reach his midpoint distance goal.
As for the one-hour FTP, Li Ang didn’t need to look to know that he had definitely exceeded the target.
But even so, the coach still couldn’t completely relax because the Riding condition and physical fitness in the second half definitely weren’t as good as in the first half.
Even if the second half had the same time and distance, with a gentler ascent, there was still no guarantee that Li Ang could finish in the same time.
Although he felt he had already highly rated Li Ang’s performance in terms of endurance, from the current situation, he had still underestimated Li Ang’s strength.
Thus, Li Ang, who had been riding hard for an hour, was actually accelerating at this point.
Li Ang felt that maintaining this speed for an hour, after being offset by his own stamina recovery, had only consumed less than 10% of his energy.
In other words, he really could ride all day long, from daylight to dark, no problem.
