I will likely start trying to sit just at or below threshold and the first few miles of this will let me know how my legs and CV is coping. If it's 'comfortable' I'll try and lift it. The finish always involves burying myself so no bother with that.
I had a gel and half a bottle during the 50. I wonder how much that cost me in aero vs. how much it gained me in energy/RPE reduction? I had to sit up a few times anyway because of my leg issue. Might be able to ride through it during the 30 but not sure.
Re: 30. Ride to 25 power, bury yourself for the last 5 miles?
