Wed 1/25
Summary: Bike 54 (3:31, 4300 ft climbing, ave 15.4 mph)
Biked with Dan Waltz. Out on hills 54 miles. 4300 ft ascent.
Rained most of the ride. Feet numb but overall, warm because of the almost constant climbing.
Climbed "the hurt" from dodge park road, 200 ft ascent, 14.7% Grade smoothing out to 11% grade at top. Also climbed 282nd hill 10.3% grade for 800 yds. Avoided covered bridge back home. Instead climbed Clatsop road off barbara welch drive, 8.5% grade. Then final climb to home. Legs tired but stable. Able to push and maintain strength. Max HR now in 140's (1 week ago high 150's).
Zone Summary:
Zone 0 = 1.5% (4 min) (HR less than 70)
Zone 1 = 47% (1:40.00)
Zone 2 = 28% (59:00)
Zone 3 = 13% (27:00)
Zone 4 = 10% (21:00)
Zone 5a = 0.6% (1 min)
* Good distribution of Zones with most time (75%) in Zones 1 and 2 (less than 128 HR)
* Getting stronger, can really feel the strength on the hills. In saddle 99% of time.
* Should be a good week, so far 9 hours in 3 days, all active. Will hit weights thurs and sunday.
