Got out and did 5 bike sprints, 4 as a tempo set and one last one, mostly to test my equipment. Beautiful weather in Sewanee, been mostly in the 70ºs. Not real hot.
Bike sprints - 4 x 300m w/ 2:30 rest
Max speed / max HR:
1) 27.5 / 162
2) 27.0 / 167
3) 26.7 / 170
4) 25.0 / 170
Bike sprint - 1x
28.0 / 170
I noticed a discrepancy between my bike speedo and my GPS of 0.8 mph on the top speed, with the bike higher. So I added 0.5 mph to the speed readings from the GPS reading in the chart. Next I'm going to compare the GPS on the phone vs the watch, the present readings on the chart are from the watch.
Yesterday, I did pullups, pushups, abs with ankle weights, and my first weighted single leg squats - just 2 x 15 w/ 18 lb kettlebell.
Another test -
I had the AFP L3 test, a screening for liver cancer. It was slightly high at 10.5, reference range is less than 9.9, but positives for cancer are usually 100-400+. So, like everything else, borderline high, and bears watching, but nothing dire or definitive. I did this because a previous MRI once showed several small cysts on my liver. I've also heard that such things can be caused by taking certain supplements. Who knows. I'm going to retest this and lipids maybe in about 6 weeks.
Woke up at 7:30 but got back to sleep and slept til 11:30am. Didn't sleep well previous night.
Planning on taking the boat to the river and making the big climb with Bill M. on Sunday evening.
Did you calibrate your bike computer by rolling/measuring wheel circumference? If so you can consider that the gold standard for accuracy. It should provide a more accurate instantaneous reading (I.e, top speed) than GPS as GPS is accurate to only a few meters so it has some averaging function. Over distance they should pretty much match but now and then I find GPS to computer mis match. For rolling out have to be very precise - roll in a perfectly straight line - exactly one revolution to the mm - metric tape measure.
ReplyDeleteYour liver test only has .3 sensitivity. .3 means when cancer is present it fails to detect it 70 percent of the time. So that test is a waste of time and money for general population screening. Most everyone has benign liver cysts, nothing to worry about. If you are worried about it get additional imaging 6 months to a year later. If it hasn’t changed, and it won’t as it is 99 percent chance benign, it is benign.
