Results from the week.

Well I didn't get out on the Monday Night Ride. I was a tad under the weather, with sore throat and runny nose, and lack of energy. At least that is how is started out yesterday, so i passed on the ride, so i could recover, and today, i'm feeling pretty good.

Anyway i had a pretty good week on the bike.

Miles - 155

Average Speed - 15.1

Average Heart Rate - 150

I think that the biggest improvement has come in the dramatic drop in the heart rate. I found over the past several rides that i am no longer pegging the heart rate monitor and only exceeding my limits on the most strenuous climbs. Where in the past the alarm on the monitor seemed to be chirping at me after every pedal stroke.

I am glad that my average speed is up. I would really like to be able to turn 17 mph as an average speed for the week. but that won't be easy so for the moment I'm happy with the results of the 15 average. To contrast when i started my avg speed was down in the 13's.

This week is going to be a little harder to get miles in due to work, and i may have to break out the trainer and do some training indoors at night. Not ideal, but may be necessary.

Thanks again to Will for some great rides this week!
