60-90min EM 4x6min SS

 These intervals are Grrreat!!!!

Got my heart rate up to 231. Finally, a payback for all this effort!

Thanks to CTS and Jimmie!

Seriously. Still wrestling with the HR zones suggested by CTS. Also, the max HR was a hardware/software glitch. I pulled over re-wet and re-positioned the HRM and when I was certain it was monitoring properly, I continued with my training intervals.

45-60 min. EM ride to Jerome Rd

45-60 min. EM ride to Jerome and a spin around the Fallen Timbers Mall

45-60 min. EM @ HR between 130 - 148 with cadence between 85 - 95 rpm. Had to shift often to keep within HR zone and cadence range. Not sure if this HR was correct. A HR between 50 and 91 percent is suggested for an EM workout per CTS. Given a max HR suggest by Garmin, my top HR, according to CTS, would lie somewhere between 93 and 168 bpm and that would be colnsidered a HR Zone #1. ??

Web from a Coked-up Spider: Actually, it conveys my resting HR

Wore HRM while asleep. Resting HR: 47. And no, I was not sleep walking around the house and through my neighbors' homes!

Hilly 50

Fallin Timbers hill climbs within a 50 mile ride. Was great using the "705" on the hills. Jerome Rd has a 9 percent grade while Stitt has a 4 percent grade. The" speed bumps" are a 4 percent, too. Jimmie says he can hammer Jerome at over 18 mph! That's very impresssive.

On a side note: I found a suggestion on changing the "705" setup from saving power and memory to accurately presenting the the route taken, that is, mapping that won't suggest I short cutted through a field. I will have to change the GPS to update every second instead of updating when it senses a change.

Wabash Cannonball Trail - Long Loop

25 mile clockwise route of both the South and the North Fork.

Maiden voyage with the Garmin "705".

It was great to have the feedback of a HR monitor again. I had really missed the Ironman Timex borrow from Jimmie.

This was my first time monitoring my pedal cadence. While I had been working on a light cadence all along, I was not very aware of just how light I may have been. Turns out that I had not been quite as light as I thought. An avg cadence of 83 rpm is not to bad, though.

MXS: 20.9 mph.
