Training Log - February 4, 2009

Well, I got some time on my trainer on Wednesday. I also got my new cyclocomputer hooked up. Therefore, here are some (relatively) accurate data on the ride:

• Ride Time: 30:00
• Distance: 8.9 miles
• Average Speed: 17.9 mph
• Max Speed: 25.1 mph
• Resistance Setting: Low
• Excerise type: Long intervals (5 min)

So, it wasn't the longest or toughest ride ever, but it felt good to be back on the bike, at least for a little while. Also, I took the time to get my cyclocomputer properly installed before the ride, so that ate into my available time to ride.

My intervals for this ride were 5 minutes of warm-up, 5 minutes at high speed (20+ mph), 5 minutes relax (~16 mph), and so on. I think I stretched the last high-speed interval beyond 5 minutes and added 30 seconds out of the saddle to make it tougher.

Overall, I felt good and am looking forward to more time on the bike. I won't be able to ride again until Saturday, but it is supposed to be a nice day, so I am hoping to get on the road for 20 miles or more.

God Bless,
