Base - Endurance Hills - 2006-09-27

Theme of the day: Hilly, but (mostly) under control

Duration: 1:25

Route: Downtown, up 5th to Sam Jackson to Terwilliger to Barbur. Back toward downtown on Barbur and repeat Terwilliger. Turned up Capitol Hwy from Terwilliger, then up to Council Crest via Cheltenham and Fairmount and... The street that takes you to Council Crest. Then I bombed down Vista to Salmon into downtown. Whee!

HR: Hmmm. Well, it was pretty good until I got near Fairmount. I think I was just going too hard and not thinking about riding calmly. For a minute or two, I lost focus and shot my HR into the low 180s. Bad technique, rocking back and forth, gasping. But mostly, it was in the low 160s for Terwilliger, and about 170-172 climbing Cheltenham up to Council Crest. I could go slower, I suppose.

Gonna ride home and do some sit-ups there. Beautiful day!
