Day 4 - 60 Minute Bike Ride in Zone 1

So today was a pretty good bike ride at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.  The circuit is the race track where the F1 of Montreal, and the Indycar races are held.  It's a 4km loop, including some uphills, downhills, and plenty of straightaways.  The track was pretty busy today, with a lot of people going a lot faster than me, and lots of group rides going on.  It sort of motivated me to join a group.  I may look into the local tri club, Les Chickens.  I will look into them seriously this weekend, but I do know that they are a very francophone group, so we will see how that goes.

Info about the ride after the jump.



Here is the info about my ride at the track:

Time:  55'05"
Distance:  28.76 km
Avg. Speed:  31.3 km/h
Max Speed:  43 km/h
Avg. Heart Rate:  137 bpm

As is pretty obvious, I went a little bit above my prescribed heart rate zone.  But that is ok, as I felt really good.  I find it hard to really get my heart rate up high on the bike, other than going up hills.  I'll have to pick it up a bit, and really focus on my cadence.

2 days in a row.  Not bad, right?  Stay tuned!
