Record miles and record heat July

So the big miles goal for July went well. The goal was 1300 miles and I ended up with a hair over. So in addition to the highest mileage personally in one month, this summer gave us the hottest ever recorded month in Oklahoma City history!

HOT STUFF

The goal for August is to take advantage of this block of miles and try to raise my FTP to an all time high (or at least as high as possible) and start preparing for the upcoming cyclocross season!

Hopefully the weather will cool down.

    What's "FTP" Mean?

    1300 miles in one month is an impressive feat, nice job!

    I'm curious what type of avg per ride, I'm guessing somewhere around 50 miles.

    FTP =functional threshold power or the maximum power in watts one can sustain for 1 hour.

    As far as average ride per day, we set up a calander for July marking 42 miles each day as a goal or daily quota. So the first was 42 miles, July 2nd was 84 miles, the 3rd was 126 etc. Most weekdays were 25-45 miles and long 100+ mile days each Saturday.
