Last night I biked some country roads from a friend's house. The area was mostly flat with a few gentle hills. It only took a few miles for me to realize that biking and really pushing my speed on the flats could be as difficult as some of the more hilly courses. Training out at Walnut Creek for the Sprint triathlon I encountered rolling hills everywhere except for a 2-3 mile section. Here it was just the opposite. On all the flats there isn't a change in how your muscles are being used, just keep pushing hard. Definitely built some muscles.
That being said, I was able to 13.52 miles in 54 minutes which averages out to 15mph. Not bad considering my fastest time on the Walnut creek course is an average of 13.5 mph.
