02-24-2019 Run

Posted a long time after this run.  It was a short one but relatively fast for me, through the neighborhood over to the coast and then up to the turnaround point by the Dolphinarium.  Then I retraced my route.

Run after a long layoff from this exercise.  Out along the beach to near the David before turning around and retracing my route.  It was a chore, especially on the return, but I felt better afterward having done the exercise.

02-23-2019 Ride

Ride from normal Netanya starting point with Oren, getting started a little after 6:30.  We started off close to our normal pace, maybe just a little slower.  Normal route out to Hwy 4, heading north.  Right on the 581 to the 5803 to the 5714 to the 57, standard route we've done a number of times.  Then heading back via the 582 and the 553, stopping for coffee before a short ride back to the starting point.  A little tired in the ride toward the latter part, it had been a while since I rode two days in a row.

Avg speed = 16.0 mph. Total mileage = 35.1 mi
Total elevation gain = 1000'

02-22-2019 Ride

Solo ride in the morning, a little chilly at first but not cold, no wind to speak of this time.  Out Ben Zvi and the 44, turning at one point to head into the industrial part of Holon.  I was trying to find a different way to get to the 412 but was ultimately unsuccessful and had to turn around and get back to the 44. Rode up to the 412 and headed northeast to the 40. Turned south and, not long after, got passed by a small pack of riders.  I sat on the back of this pack for quite a while, at one point passing them and riding ahead to catch up with another rider who was setting a higher pace.  I kept with him until at a stoplight I paused to change gloves and put new music on.  Continued back to the 44, turning there and heading home the normal way.  Latter part of the ride was at a faster pace, and I generally felt good.

Avg speed = 17.6 mph. Total mileage = 33.5 mi
Avg heartrate (FitBit) = 151 bpm
Total elevation gain = 820'

02-15-2019 Ride

Solo ride in the morning, simple out and back on Ben Zvi and the 44.  On the way out, the wind was facing me most of the time, and it was a real workout.  Especially toward the turnaround point, it was more out in the open, and the wind was punishing.  When I headed back, I was riding at over 20 mph and not feeling the wind.  Ride back was, obviously, easier.

Later on, Ann and I rode bikes over to see a move in downtown Tel Aviv, probably about 5-6 miles total.

Avg speed = 16.4 mph. Total mileage = 30.9 mi
Avg heartrate = 139 bpm (Fitbit)
Total elevation gain = 880'

02-02-2019 Ride

Solo ride from standard starting point in Netanya.  I had a miscommunication with Oren about riding, so he ended up sleeping in.  I rode anyway, although a shorter distance than I would have gone with him.  Out to the 57 and then to Hwy 4, heading north through Hadera and turning left on the 65 toward Caesarea before turning around just before the Hwy 2 interchange.  Then I retraced my route.  I made okay time on the ride, although I could tell on the return trip that I needed to slow my pace occasionally to mini-recoveries.

Avg speed = 17 mph. Total mileage = 28.2 mi
Total elevation gain = 570'

02-01-2019 Ride

Ride out Ben Zvi / 44 to the 412 and over to the 40, where I headed north toward and past Kfar Sava before turning around.  On the way back, I took the 461 and Kibbutz Galuyot to get home, for the difference as well as to limit my overall distance.  Made okay, not great, time on this ride, still a long way to go to get my cardio to a level where I can sustain higher output for indefinite periods of time.

Avg speed = 17.4 mph. Total mileage = 45.4 mi
Total elevation gain = 850'
