06-11-2025 Ride/Run-Walk

Woke up and got up a little earlier than planned. I shaved and brushed my teeth, cleaned the kitchen, and updated my blog about the previous day's activities. I also put the aero bars on my Fuji bike, rode this one on this day to get more comfortable in the aero position. Through the neighborhood to Matinal Rd, turning right from Matinal Circle to get on W Bernardo Dr. To RB Rd, then it was the normal way to John's house. I found I couldn't shift into my upper chainring, so I stopped and did it manually. Took a moderate pace on the way there. John and Jayden were out front. I borrowed some tools from John and used his bike stand to put in a temporary fix for my front derailleur. Then we headed out, down to Sabre Springs Pkwy and Rancho Carmel Dr to get to Carmel Mountain Rd. Left turn there, staying on it up the gradual hill and then down to the turn, where I climbed up to the high school and descended to Black Mountain Rd. Right turn there, taking it up to Carmel Valley Rd. We turned left there and stayed on it until we got to Del Mar Heights Rd. Right turn there, taking it to Carmel Canyon Rd, where we turned left and rode to Carmel Country Rd. This got us to the 56 bike path, which we took to head back. Stayed on it all the way to Sabre Springs Pkwy. We turned there and then turned right on Evening Creek Dr to take this alternate route. Back to Sabre Springs Pkwy, following it to Springbrook Dr. One last climb, up to Springhurst Dr, then back to John's house the normal way from there. Vivian made us smoothies, and we talked about gardening and yard work before I headed home the normal way. Was slow on the return, legs were tired from the previous day, I guess.

Avg speed = 15.5 mph (15.7 mph). Total mileage =47.9 mi
Avg power = 124 W. Weighted Avg power = 149 W
Total elevation gain = 2720' (3110')
Avg heartrate = 113 bpm (Coospo)
Relative Effort = 45 (49)
Training Load =172
Intensity = 68%

Didn't have a lot of time when I got home. I showered and got ready for my volunteer shift at the hospital. Rode over there and ate lunch: a slice of pizza, a Pepsi, and a Reese's ice cream bar. Then it was on to my shift. Nothing remarkable, Melissa was the admin, and I hadn't seen her in a long time. I tried to get out on time this time, rode home in somewhat heavy traffic, then changed to meet Emily and Caleb for a C25k workout. It was pretty warm in the sun but nice in the shade.

Avg pace = 15:09/mi
Total distance = 2.04 mi
Elapsed moving time = 30:55
Avg heartrate = 87 bpm (Coospo)
Relative Effort = 3

 After the run-walk, we went to OtB for happy hour. Fun conversation, very light-hearted. The ride home was a little chilly but easily bearable. Ann was gone when I got home, so I ate a little more food (sweets) and watched TV for a while before turning in.
