hard climb





















With an approaching severe thunderstorm, I had just enough time to get a bike climb in and I pushed it pretty hard.  2+ min faster than the previous one.  Really worked the heart hard today.  Some of the highest HR I've measured.

Roark's Cove Rd bike climb - 23:20

Max Heart Rate - 189

Avg Heart rate over 25:17 - 173

HR over 170 - 17:48 

Avg speed - 5.85 mph

I probably started out too fast and when I started the 700m long steep, HR was already at 170.  HR was over 180 for 3:44.   That's a long time to be near max HR.  

The total time includes a short coast to the car after the summit.  According to every standard formula for age and Max HR, mine is about 30 bpm higher than normal.
