Started with the watch in "Run" mode and when I switched to "Bike" mode it thought I was doing multisport. So this is the beginning of the ride, all-out effort with 252 max heart rate (right...).

And now you know... the REST of the story! /Paul Harvey

Stupid HR strap went bananas for probably the first 15 minutes or so.

Z2 run--felt like I was working harder than Z2, though I did double check and made sure I could carry on a conversation while running by myself on the treadmill in the basement :) Did the usual 4:00 run / :30 walk

Stupid HR strap--worked flawlessly during my run yesterday, acted like an idiot today during the first part of my ride. I think it's just getting garbled up whenever my jersey is blowing in the wind, because the HR info cleared up once I turned South to go into Bennet. Stupid thing. Anyway, had a good ride today on the Loop. Only one idiotic driver incident--two cars were coming toward me and the genius in the 2nd car decided to pass as they were going by me. I was changing screens on my Garmin otherwise I might've pulled my water bottle off and thrown it at him--what a stupid move! Five seconds is all it would have been for him to just wait to pass the other guy.

bah-bahhhhhh! Running LT test. Accidentally clicked the "lap" button at the turn-around (a habit I've gotten into on my runs) but my average HR for the final 5+15 minutes were within 1 beat of each other so I think I'm okay. It was HOT HOT HOT out there! I figured I'd do the test outside since I'll be running in the middle of the day anyway for my race so having zones established based on similar conditions is probably going to be the best protocol.

Figure a solid hour of lifting/moving is about right.

Yet another workout with some useless HR data. I clipped off the Max HR stuff and anything from 180-205bpm. I read a thread on BT earlier today that said you have to clean your HR strap, so I guess I'll be doing that.

Group ride tonight--going to skip Wednesday in favor of hanging out with the family and doing my running LT test (assuming the legs are recovered from tonight's ride--ow!) There were 3 women who showed up tonight, which now that I think about it is probably normal for a Monday and I was a "new person" for that ride. At any rate, there was this one lady who apparently did a 5+ hour mountain bike race yesterday in Omaha (Tranquility Park) who was pulling us fatties around like it was nothing. In fact, I didn't find out about her race until someone was asking her about it--she certainly didn't look like she was hurting to me!

Rode the Trek today because it's just easier to do a group ride with the shifters on a road bike as opposed to a tri bike. I think I have my seat a squidge too low on the Trek, and my rear derailleur was being a butthead and skipping all over the place. Going to have to take it somewhere to have the pros look at it, I'm not smart enough to figure it out. We were doing barrel adjustments just about every time we stopped and it would never stay corrected. The pink jersey lady (mentioned above) said that it was probably just my cable being too old, which I would have to agree.
