Tested long cycle today with 2x24k. The goal was 10 minutes @ 4rpm. My right hand grip failed at 8.5 minutes, so I got 34 reps. This is 70% of my best set ever (46 reps), and 57% of my goal (60).
Feedback: Upper legs, lower back, shoulders held out fine. Calves were under strain the whole time keeping balance. Grip was the weak link- forearms were very uncomfortable. Triceps were hurting by the end, and had grip not failed, triceps would have been cramping. Conditioning was pushing it, but had enough steam to keep going. This weight still feels heavy. Pulse at the end was in the low 180's, by a quick pulse check (about 18 beats in 6 seconds).
Rested a few minutes, then did 2 easy sets of dips and chins, and 30 minutes of moderate cardio. Cardio included a warm up walk (3m), a mile run in 10m, a cool down walk (3m), 4 loaded carries of 20 steps out and 20 back with 2x32k, and 5 minutes on the Nordic Track.
