Sunday Ride
This was just one of those rides…. Some rain, flat tire, dropped chain, wind, some more wind. Then it actually got better. We must have beeen riding into the wind for most of the ride, because once we got about 8 or 9 miles from getting back we were clicking off miles at a pace…
Friday Run and Saturday Ride
Yesterday afternoon the weather was so nice, I went out for a run, did just under 10 miles. http://connect.garmin.com/activity/79329108 The usual Sunday ride was moved up to this morning because we are expecting rain for tomorrow morning, may still go out tomorrow afternoon for another ride, depends on the weather. Very windy out there today,…
Conflicting water temp reports
You know it’s getting close to pond season when everyone shows up to the pool reporting the water temp. This morning there were reports of 45 degrees and 48 degrees. Still a little too chilly. It also seems like most of the pond swimmers are becoming more steady in the morning to get ready for pond…
More Long Intervals
Yep, just another Thursday morning on the CompuTrainer. Today was the same workout as last thursday. Two 20 minute intervals at 98% of FTP with 5 minutes of recovery. Heart rate ranged from 155-158 for the first one and from 157-163 for the second one. Each recovery my heart rate went back down to mid…
Cold and miserable
Cold and miserable, pretty much describes my run this morning. Going out I didn’t think it was going to be too bad because it just seemed to be raining lightly on the drive to the gym. Once I got out on the road though, the wind was driving it right at me and along with…
Getting warm in the garage
Spent another Tuesday morning in the garage on the CompuTrainer. This session was another set of short intervals. I felt pretty good this morning, heart rate was going between 160-163 for the last few minutes of each interval and would quickly recover to 130s before the next interval. Intervals were 6 minutes long, so not…
Getting closer to pond season!
Pretty good swim this morning, but more importantly we are getting closer to getting back in the pond. George stopped by with the official horse thermometer and took a reading of 48 degrees. I’m thinking maybe 6 or 7 more degrees and we’ll be good to go! 500 warmup 500 pull 300 drill 200 free…
Finally outside for a long ride
Finally made it outside for a long ride and what a nice day to be out on the bike. Started out a little chilly at 40 degrees, but easily was in the 50s an hour later. Good thing it was a nice day as our group was all over the place today, some of us…
Test ride outside
Tomorrow is the first long ride outside and I needed to make sure that everything was in working order and it is quite nice out today. Hopefully tomorrow will be just as nice. Went for a short 10 mile ride and it was good to get out and actually ride on the road. The new…
