Fitness and other things
Ride in the Afternoon
For my second activity of the day I got on the bike and rode out to 110th West. It was a hard ride. It was about 100 degrees and I started in the middle of the day after church. The wind was up, and at times was blowing in my face at 25 mph.
It was much slower than Friday’s ride (17.2 average), today I managed to ride at a 15.5 mph average. The wind and heat much have been contributors to the slower speed. I came home kinda whipped, but nothing a small nap could not handle.
My heart rate was down comparing the last two rides. Average of 159 to today’s of 150. Overall it felt good to stop. My calf is getting tight after the ride, but that is to be expected.
