Ok, so I am training for IMC, which is on Aug 29.
 
I normally do my long rides on a Friday so as to impact the family less, then long runs on Saturday.
 
My schedule has me riding 6 hrs today, then next weekend is a HIM, then a final 6 hr ride the following week before going into taper.
 
I woke up this morning and it is cold and raining and 40km/hr winds. No way I am riding 6 hrs in that.
 
So, here are my options....
 
1. Skip this long ride altogether, do my long run tomorrow and carry on with the rest as scheduled.
 
2. Do the long ride tomorrow, run on Sunday even though it would screw up some other scheduling things with the family. My dh is willing to go with this, though I feel a bit guilty about it.
 
3. Do a shorter ride tomorrow so as to impact the family less, run on Sunday.
 
4. Suck it up and ride today. I really can' see this one happening.
 
So, WWYD?

Bingo! Ride 4 hours, insert some hard segments of 2-3 x 20min harder segments after the 2 hour mark, or do the last hour at HIM pace. That's what I normally do.
