bike climb

It had been quite a while since I had done a bike climb, it was a good day for it,  Mid 50s, cloudy.   So I did Roark's Cove.   

I had been up all night draining, cleaning, and refilling my hot tub.  The circulation pump, usually silent,  was making noise.  In the morning, I was happy it was working and hot.  But, after my bike ride, the pump failed.  But not a bad run... it ran 24/7 for 10 yrs.   New one comes in on Tues.  Not soon enough.  I'm totally dependent on that thing.  The install shouldn't be too hard.  

This climb was sluggish and I started too fast again.  But it was a good calorie burn.  My HR monitor failed halfway up, but realized that wiping the sensor with a wet finger restored the function.*

Roarks Cove climb

Total time - 23:45

Max HR 180*

This looks like the schedule I'll keep for the week.  Turf run on Tues, hills on Friday, bike on Sun.
