Rode my daily 25 mile training ride with HRM. My legs are a little tired since I did a century Saturday (18.9 mph) and a 28+ mile recovery ride Sunday (17 mph). So I wasn't up to doing my usual intervals, but I did push a slightly uphill 1 mile segment at 19-20 mph and I only got to 126 bpm, my legs were burning some and I was breathing pretty heavily. I suspect something is wrong with monitor...or me???
