Went for a walk for an hour+ in the morning, it was a little chilly (wore sweatpants) but not too cold. Then I went for a bike ride, not pushing so hard this time as on Tuesday. I could still feel the effects of running on Wednesday, mostly in some groin tightness. Headed through the neighborhood up to RB Rd, then the extended route up by the water tower through the 4S Ranch Neighborhood to get over to Camino del Sur. I took this all the way down to the 56 bike path, not going so hard on the little climbing sections. Used the bike path to get over to Black Mountain Rd, where I turned and took it over to Carmel Valley Rd. Again, fairly measured pace up to this turn and then up to the crest of the hill before the nice downhill. Rode Dove Canyon Rd over to RB Rd, then home via W Bernardo Dr. Nothing special to note about the ride, felt good to get some miles in.
Avg speed = 15.6 mph. Total mileage = 23.1 mi
Avg power = 135 W. Weighted avg power = 170 W
Total elevation gain = 1580'
Avg heartrate = 122 bpm (Coospo), 133 bpm (Fitbit)
Around 11:30, Ann and I headed over to a vegan Mexican food restaurant, Phatties, in Escondido. The food wasn't so great, edible but not flavorful. And it took quite a while to get the food. We won't be going back there. After we got home, I put up the other camping box (everything was dried out), checked the oil in the car, and then put the aero bars back on my Fuji bike. The latter task took a lot longer than I had hoped. It was pretty easy to put the foam pads on, I just drilled a hole in each one and fed the attach screw through. Then I used some double-sided foam tape to hold the foam onto the pad rests a little more firmly. Will try this setup out next week. I have it in mind to train some with the aero bars, then head down to Fiesta Island to do my own 3-lap time trial. Will see how that idea matures. In the evening, I continued modifying the Python cycling GPX file analysis program to incorporate HR data analysis, adding a function that shows HR vs. elapsed distance on the ride. Next step looks like I will need to incorporate, finally, an overlay function of the data over a street map, so that I can eventually select segments on the map and see how my power and HR data are represented.
