Got up with the intention of going on a climbing ride, but I postponed this idea when I saw that the weather was wet and the roads were slippery. So I decided to go for a run instead. I walked down the hill on Aguamiel Rd and started running when it flattened out. Ran over to the park and looped around it a couple of times on a fairly flat route before heading back toward home and stopping my run around the same place I stopped it. I was surprised at how I felt during the run and my ability to keep a pace under 8:00/mile.
Total distance = 2.82 mi
Total time = 22:04
Avg pace = 7:48/mi
Total elevation gain = 129'
Avg heartrate = 161 bpm
In the afternoon, the weather had cleared up. I'd been working on selecting WhatsApp videos to keep as well as updating the GPX file analysis program to enable the data to be overlaid over a street map. I think I have the method figured out now, at least for plotting location points on the map. Next step is to color-code them, and there appear to be instructions on how to do this that I've run across. So I went for a ride, heading down by the park and over to Highland Valley Rd. I took this up past Cordiano Winery, along the false flat just beyond until it started downhill, where I turned around. The climbs didn't appear to be as hard as in the past, probably a combination of having lower gears and better fitness. I didn't really feel the effects of the earlier run, other than my leg muscles feeling the effort a little more. Back down the descents and across the flat to Pomerado Rd, where I turned left and rode up to RB Rd. Home via W Bernardo Dr from there.
Avg speed = 15.8 mph. Total mileage = 18.6 mi
Avg power = 161 W. Weighted avg power = 191 W
Total elevation gain = 1520'
Avg heartrate = 128 bpm
In the evening, I went over to Avi's house and met up with him and a bunch of guys for a beer tasting, where each of the guys brought beers to sample. I had bought a couple of beers from BevMo, a Polish one and one from Lost Abbey. Both of them ended up in the top 5 in taste preference, and the cheaper Polish beer was the third choice. From HP, there were Andre Garcia, Rob Davis, Mark Vaughn, Alex DeRegules, and Andy ??. Andy has been the one organizing these get-togethers. I also talked to Dirk (somebody's neighbor, originally from Germany), Jeff (runs a printing business, used the 50000 press from Digital Lizard in the past), and Walter (?, also a singer in a local funk cover band).
