Yesterday was bike day. Had an awesome bike ride.
I was supposed to go biking for 30 - 45 minutes, with 1 - 2 periods of med-high strain. I decided to time it using my oh-so-pretty iPod Nano, in it's new Belkin sport strap. Then I used Google Earth to figure out the distances.
Below are the results:
| Segment | Clock time | Time elapsed | Distance covered (miles) | Avg. Speed (miles per minute) | Avg. Speed (miles per hour) |
| Start - Lincoln Way at 9th Ave | 19:50:00 | ||||
| Get to beach through Route 1 - JFK Dr at Great Hwy | 20:02:00 | 0:12:00 | 3.73 | 0.31 | 18.65 |
| Return through Route 1 | 20:20:00 | 0:18:00 | 3.73 | 0.21 | 12.43 |
| Get to beach through Route 2 - Lincoln Way at Great Hwy | 20:30:00 | 0:10:00 | 2.75 | 0.28 | 16.50 |
| Return through Route 2 | 20:43:00 | 0:13:00 | 2.75 | 0.21 | 12.69 |
| Get home - Lawton St at 10th Ave | 20:53:00 | 0:10:00 | 0.63 | 0.06 | 3.78 |
So what's the pattern?
I start off with more energy maybe? Possibly, but it's more of a downhill vs. uphill story. The high speed segment are all downhill... which makes sense, since I am going from slightly above sea-level to actual sea-level.
Today is swim day. I need to practice all the drills. It's not going to be great.
