I think the biggest factor is that you using a bike and your not use to riding. That for sure can give you a different result.

Hi, so I did the 23km in Cham and the requirements should be the same. The jacket must be waterproof and seam sealed. The rule when I did the event if your stop by an official and did not have the proper gear you would disqualified. If you do need a jacket I have a couple that I am selling cheap. one is a Salomon S/lab and the other is a Dynafit. Very light and packable to fit in a running vest. Men’s medium. Hope this helps. Thierry

I am no expert, but I feel you need to take more things in to cosideration. HR yes but also rate of presive exsertion “converstaion pace”.

From my own experience when I was training for Cotopaxi and living in MI (some hills Small) I went to my local ski hill about 300+feet. My training was a build-up of weights over time to add resistance and laps. I finished off the training about 2 weeks before trip with an overload est. 70lbs then tapering.
Note I did do some hills repeat without a load and worked on speed/zone 3-4 once a week. I personal thinks sometimes these shorter hills workouts are better as you need to build the downhill leg muscles too. The up and downs seam to kick my ass better than just doing super long up hills and down hills. One man’s opinion

I am having the same issue too. I’ve been focusing on own RPE and not my HR monitor. This way I feel like I’m not going crazy.
