This was a somewhat busy activities day. I started out by going for an hourlong walk around the neighborhood, after sleeping until about 6:00. Then I went to the WWC for a swim, had the pool almost all to myself, except that Cathy swam for a little bit in the middle of my time in the water. Don't know why I was so slow on this day, finished 2000 yds with standard protocol in 42:39. Maybe it was some carryover from the previous day's swim and run? I headed home, had a little breakfast, and got ready to go with Ann to see Brett Everhart, who said our portfolio was pretty well structured but that we should decrease our international fund exposure somewhat. Some homework to do there. Back home, I got ready to go for a ride with Avi and Gary Watts. I rode over there via Aguamiel Rd to W Bernardo Dr, then the same route as previous times. We got rolling before 11:40, and we headed over to Twin Peaks Rd, taking it up to Community Rd and turning right there. I was riding more steadily at my pace than the previous Thursday, although still not going full out for most of the ride. Up to Hilleary Pl, where we turned and rode over to Midland Rd to get to Poway Rd. We turned left there and rode up to Garden Rd to get to Sycamore Canyon Rd. I had not ridden up this grade in a long time, and it was pretty tough. On this section of the ride I put in a big effort all the way to the end of the road, where I waited for the others to get there. Then it was the more fun downhill, retracing out route back to Poway Rd. I laid on the brakes a couple of times on the steeper sections of Sycamore Canyon Rd, no reason to be a hero on this day. We took Poway Rd back to follow the time trial route, and here is another part, on the Sabre Springs Pkwy gradual climb, where I followed my own pace (not going all out but being steady). We rode back to their office, and then I rode home by following the rest of the time trial route home, with the exception of taking Azucar Way to get to our house. Felt good on the ride, legs were tired, and so was I, afterward. Still, I'm not sure why my average speed was so low on this ride. I know I took the climb up Bernardo Heights Pkwy slowly, but I thought I had pretty good pace at other times.
Avg speed = 15.6 mph. Total mileage = 29.9 mi
Avg power = 140 W. Weighted avg power = 169 W
Total elevation gain = 1820'
Avg heartrate = 127 bpm (Coospo), 115 bpm (Fitbit)
The rest of the afternoon was quiet, I started watching the next season of The Expanse but dozed off for a short while. I ended up finishing that episode in the evening. In between, Ann and I went over to RB Community Park to meet Emily and go for a 2-mile hike. The weather was cool and a little windy. There is a lot of plant life restoration along the main trail we typically walk on. We got back and had dinner, then I read for a bit.
