Bike climb, swim

Busy day, bike climb in the heat of the afternoon... and it was hot due to a dewpoint in the mid 70ºs, the heat index was in the mid to probably upper 90ºs, especially at the bottom of the mountain.  After that, ran a lot of errands and then swam about a quarter mile leisurely and did a few reps of water running.

The bike climb was hard on the misery and HR index but it broke my string of PRs, 22:59.  My third fastest climb up Roark's cove rd.  HR higher on this one compared to previous.


Here's the data: 

Max HR - 182 

 HR over 170 - 15:51

 HR over 180 - 3:53 

 Avg HR - 168

 Avg speed - 6.0 mph 

 Total climb time - 22:59







It was Roya's birthday so after the swim, I made dinner and had guests over.   I was real hungry but only had a tiny piece of birthday cake since I'm getting blood work tomorrow.  I was 141.0 lbs before dinner, close to the lowest this yr.  

Felt really tired today, low energy.   Just going to do some pullups, pushups, and abs.  Tomorrow, having a lipid check and an A1C, so I'm fasting.  I expect I'm probably prediabetic.  Lower back still bothering me, not severe though.  I may try running a few stadium stairs.  

Here's our annual birthday month photo at the lake... Roya's 64th, my 65th earlier this month.
