Badly needing a workout, I got back to Sewanee in beautiful weather, mid 70ºs dry and clear. After unpacking the car and taking my plants out, I hopped on the mtn bike for a 2.5 mile sprint. It was hard. Out of shape, been a while since a serious bike workout. My HR pretty much stayed around 168 for 9 min.
2.5 mile mountain bike sprint - Laurel Branch Trl
Time - 10:11
Avg speed - 13.4 mphMax HR - 170
HR over 156 - 9:34 (inc 1 min recovery at end)
HR over 170 - 0:07
Avg HR - 161
Even though the perceived effort was hard, the HR wasn't as high as my hard rides of the previous weeks, one where I was over 170 for 4:12.
Have gained a little weight, living on Kind bars, fruits and nuts. Not bad, about 144-145.
