Went to the pool. Forgot about the pool party this evening. So many people, I just went home. My doctor would not approve but I decided to ride my bike.
Where was my helmet ? And gloves ? Had to wipe off a few cobwebs from the frame. Sprayed WD-40 all over. Computer battery dead. Luckily had a spare. Could not find manual to edit the settings after the battery change. Thanks to the Internet, downloaded a new one. FINALLY got to use the Garmin 305 I got for my birthday in May. I gave it a quick 10 minute charge. Read the manual on the heart rate monitor. Then left the house.
Gave a moderate effort, and the leg did not hurt. Dropped my water bottle at 2.74 miles. Stopped and picked it up. No matter what I wanted to get in 1 hour. Afterwards the leg was sore. I would have felt better if both legs were sore. Hopefully no further aggravation to the stress fracture.
Garmin and the computer were .05 miles different from one another. I will use the computer since I always have for my logging. Max heart rate was 174, and avg. was 156. I have no idea what those numbers mean. But its the first time I have ever been able to record it.
17 miles - 1hr. 2sec.
By the way I have never been a good cyclist, but I have always enjoyed it. |
