03-19-2025 Ride

Woke up after sleeping well but getting up in the night to watch TV and eat. Got ready for a bike ride with a cold starting temperature. Through the neighborhood to Matinal Rd and then over to W Bernardo Dr. Then it was to RB Rd, following the normal route to John's place from there. I was running a little late, so I pushed myself a little harder than usual. Jayden and Vivian were out front to say hi when I got there. We rode back down to Poway Rd and followed the old time trial route from there, at modest pace. Talked a bit about professional cycling as well as our trip to Japan. We rode back to Poway Rd and turned on Carriage Rd to get over to Oak Knoll Rd. Took that back to Pomerado Rd and turned left to get to Old Pomerado Rd. Up to Scripps-Poway Pkwy, then the last little climb to Springbrook Rd. Back to John's house the normal way from there. John made smoothies and we chatted for a while. Then I rode home the normal way via Bernardo Center Dr, doing pretty well on the Pomerado Rd stretch. Weather in the latter part of the ride was ideal, actually starting to feel warm.

Avg speed = 15.4 mph (15.6 mph). Total mileage = 39.2 mi
Avg power = 132 W. Weighted avg power = 153 W
Total elevation gain = 2230' (2500')
Avg heartrate = 118 bpm (Coospo)
Relative Effort = 44 (46)
Training Load = 137
Intensity = 70%

I had a little time to relax before getting ready for my volunteer shift at the hospital. I went there early and used a coupon to get some French fries and a Coke before starting the shift. It was pretty busy throughout, no room cleans in the first half and a bunch in the second. I stopped at Sprouts on the way home and got some fruit. Watched NCAA basketball in the evening, otherwise it was quiet.
