01-22-2024 Virtual Ride

Weather was wet and miserable all morning, so I did an indoor ride on the Kickr.  The Wahoo app had been redesigned, and I never did figure out how to set the resistance level consistently.  I was in Erg mode for most of the ride, targeting a power output of 170-180 W.  Focus was on trying to keep a steady high cadence and keep pushing the pedals.  I was getting tired near the end and was glad when the hour was up.  Lots of sweating, even with the fan aimed at me.  I listened to music on my iPod through the speakers during the ride.

Avg speed = 18.6 mph. Total mileage = 18.5 mi

Avg power = 158 W. Weighted avg power = 163 W

Total elevation gain (est.) = 800'

In the afternoon, I did my volunteer shift at the hospital.  Met a couple of new people, including Shane (nurse), ?? (female med tech), and Emily (other charge nurse).  I also talked briefly with the regular Monday morning ED volunteer, Pat.  She seemed a little scatterbrained.  The department was really busy, even in the crappy weather, and I didn't have too much trouble finding stuff to do.  Cleaned up my first room with a fair amount of blood (nosebleed), and I took lots of extra care handling all the stuff that went into regular and bio waste.
