Interesting Metrics

While contiplating where my fitness level is, I noticed a key metric that is trending in the right way.

Over the past 3 rides, I have dropped my average heart rate from 164 to 151bpm.

It occurred to me to look at this, as while riding yesterday we were climbing a pretty good hill, and the Monster HealthCare rider's heart rate was 113, Will's was 140, and mine was a whopping 170.

Moral of the story is I still have allot of work to do, but I'm heading in the right direction.


Another interesting parallel is that I have dropped 10 pounds since the training started, wonder what the correlation of weight to heart rate is??

Also My good Friend Rob, said that if i drop 25 pounds he would drop a 100 dollar donation to the Tour de Pink. Well Rob, It's ON!
