Successful Recovery

It's not tremendously exciting, but for the first time since I've been training, on a recovery ride I actually kept my average heartrate in my recovery-type zone thingie, under 139. 138, that is! Sounds silly, but when you're riding through the hills of Ivanhoe, Viewbank and Montmorency and you're built like... well, a very large sprinter, is not so easy.

Pootle

Well, today was meant to be Spin day, but since I'm in Geelong I've had to alter things a bit! So today was a nice lazy pootle down along the Barwon River, which was just plain horrible! Don't know why I made myself do such an awful thing. Oh well, tomorrow will be training - don't have my trainer with me, but there's a great spot along the river for doing standing starts and so on, so I'll still get a pretty good (that is, hard!) approximation in!

Recovery

Aim for today: 1 hour, over 100RPM, under 149BPM.

Stats for today: 33 min, 14.14km (25.6km/hr), 99RPM av., 154 BPM av.

Hmm. Closeish.
