010409 - Bike

Spent 45 minutes on the bike this morning.  Got going around 9:00 AM and stayed inside to avoid the cold weather.  After reading a comment from Max, I took to the workout in the big chain ring.  I tried hard to keep my cadence to around 90 RPM and checked my cadence every 10 minutes to make sure I was on target.  I really need to get a new bike computer with cadence!  Checking out a few models and of course it is always a pain in the A$$ shopping for tri stuff.  Anyhow, back to the ride...

I hit the bike feeling good considering my legs are shot after the past two days of workouts.  I know I spent the past two months in maintenance mode, but I never really had to do any large bikes and runs in the same day.  Once I got my legs moving at the proper cadence, my HR settled into the 145-150 range and peaked a few times around 155.  Overall, my average HR was 145.  I was happy to be able to push the bigger gear and keep my HR where it should have been for this workout.  Looking forward to another two workouts tomorrow!
