Yesterday i swam over lunch. Had very little time, 'cuz once again class obtruded into lunch; but i got in 1000 straight with a sad li'l c/d. Then we got out of class way early 'cuz a prof cancelled, so i (stupidly) went climbing. Not a good session, and i shouldn't have gone, but it was a workout. A bad day of climbing is better than a good day of ...pretty much anything else.
Got m' new Timex Race Trainer HR monitor in. Perty sexy li'l machine. And it's got interval (countdown) timers in. i'm looking forward to putting some mileage on that thing soon. Well, have a good weekend, lads.

sat.
Did an hour and a half on ye olde Bisickle. The HR monitor worketh like a peach. The H it was monitoring the R on performed substantially less satisfactorily. Odd ride. It's really cold out there (for which i was thankful i'd worn the fleece and fingers), but i was hammering up the long climb, and i couldn't get my heart rate even into the high 140s. i don't know if i was slightly hypothermic, or if i just had some bad shrooms, but i felt weird and couldn't keep my HR up. Plus it wasn't that hard of a ride, but it just drained me to the bones. The plan calls for a 30min run sometime today, but i'm not sure it's going to happen. Just felt like i bonked hard, so we'll see if things improve once the food and more coffee kick in. Haven't felt this squished after a stock workout in a while. Gotta get this cold weather thing dialed in.

That's hilarious. i think I can get my hr over 140 taking a dump. when you guys come down for the holidays bring your monitor. I'll bet we can get your hr over 140 in under 75 secodns wrestling the tire!
Well that's the thing: it ain't natural for my hr to run that low. i felt kinda sick and bonked. It's always lower in the cold, but not 30 beats lower. i should have been running in the high 160s at that effort.
