Monday: 40 mile bike
Today was the first day of tempo riding. I warmed up for 60 minutes and then did 50 minutes of tempo. I was hoping to do 90minutes but ran out of time. For the tempo part of the ride, I averaged 270 watts. I struggled to get my heart rate up, averaging only 147bpm for the tempo portion. As I progress over the next few weeks, I think (and hope) that I will get stronger and be able to get my heart rate up. I've noticed that after having biked in zone 1/low zone 2 for so long, I have good power at lower heart rates, but lack strength at higher heart rates. Total ride: 40 miles; 237w; 139bpm; 79rpm

What happened to the SRM graphs?
Ran across your blog. Look forward to following your journey to IMFL....

I'll put up the graph tonight. It was only a 40 mile ride so I didn't think it was worth putting up.
