Training Ride #1

0 comments | Wednesday, July 13, 2005

I guess you can call this our first training ride...we aren't really sure which schedule we're going to end up using, but at least for now we're starting with one that says we should have begun training a month ago. :) Nice.

Anyway, tonight we were supposed to ride at Tempo pace for 90 minutes. Tempo pace is something that I just cannot do at this point, it's too damn slow. So I just focused on keeping my heart rate between the designated heart rate ceilings. For me, that meant staying below 160 bpm. Basically, I rode but not real hard or real fast, and when we did hit a few rollers, I just took them as I could. I went over once (big hill) but pretty much kept within the parameters.

Weather was good. 81 degrees, wind was WNW at 6mph. Nice. :)
Avg speed: 14.3 mph
Avg HR: 133
Max HR: 166
kcal: 664
Total distance: 21 miles
Total time: 93 minutes riding, 5 minutes break (awesome actually, only a 5 minute break)

All in all, it was a great ride. If eating right makes me feel this good after only a week, I can't wait to stick to my plan and shed some pounds, get a little faster and ride with a little bit less pain. :)
