Went out in the heat today for a bike climb, 92º and exceptionally humid, dewpoint 78º, heat index 107º. Hottest part of the day. I got Dr. Scott an endurance runner a few yrs younger than me to motivate me. We finished together.
This was the hardest I've ever pushed my HR. The overall time was not exceptional, but the effort was due to the conditions. Faster than last time. I did very little sprinting off the seat. Scott did more than I did.
Roark's Cove bike climb
Total time - 23:11
Avg speed - 6.1 mph
Max HR - 190
HR over 170 - 14:59
HR over 180 - 4:15
Avg HR - 166
Had a nice swim afterward. Scott lives right at the top of the hill and on a lake. Got to hang with friends for a few hrs. Roya joined us.
It was supposed to rain today, even possible severe storms, but nothing came. Nice lightning and thunder in the distance.
Roya's day off tomorrow so we'll go swimming. I want to hit the track during the heat and do some weight pulls. Could be hotter tomorrow, and certainly will on the reflective turf field in full sun.
