Nope. It was the longest and hardest ride I have ever done at that point. In the ramp up I worked up to a 200k ride with about 3000m vert.
What's relevant for your event is obviously very different to a one day climb fest. If you have massive doubts about whether your training is on point, I would suggest to speak to a coach or a self trained athlete with experience in ultra distance stuff. Then make a plan for that.
Getting coaching really worked for me. It's taken away the guess work and doubt and all I had to do is follow "the plan" ... which I also could make visible to my wife, and she knew what was on the cards when, plus she knew it was not just arbitrary selfishness that made me go slog 6 hours in the hills.
Of course if you feel you're on track then just keep on doing what you're doing.
How long till TCR?

Climbing aside had you ridden that sort of distance much?
I think I get what you are saying. I don't think my schedule is dissimilar really. I had the cadence speed and I'm gradually building the strength.
I felt good on the climbs in Girona and the last 200km Audax I did I got round in an average of 27kmph and I wanted to be above 25. Hard to know what other metrics are pertinent
