This mornings ride commute in.
1 hour 43 minutes
Averages Heart Rate 113
1707 calories per my HR monitor. I know is it crap but perhaps useful to compare rides.
This morning I did take it pretty easy because I didn't want to fight with the wind.
I am usually riding at a pace I can't talk at but with marfans well maybe that is lower then most.
Here is info on my 75 mile and 200k for comparison
200k
9 hours 34 minutes
Average Heart Rate 136
1369 calories?? (I'm hoping it rolled the odometer or something)
75 mile
5 hours
Average Heart Rate 149
6677 calories per my HR monitor
I gotta bring jugs of water in to work on my driving days so I can avoid ice tea. The water/ice I do drink but it does bad things to my system.
