Likeminded individuals congregate at similar places of habitat.......And so it happened again.
The wknd was supposed to be a "shut off all cylinders" and recover from a good week of training to spend some quality time with family. That was achieved.....with a quick addition of a classic XC ski on sunday. The moment of opportunity arose as our oldest had an impromptu play date and our youngest was down for a nap....sensing my wife was looking more to a chill session, I grabbed skiis and coated them with that red goopy warm weather wax and headed for the "hills"
Bumped into molly on trail as I had to re-apply another coating of wax to help with this grip thing in warm weather.....I finally understand the cold to hard and warm to soft wax approach. Absolutely ripped through the first 10 k and ran into Fil with a buddy of his on my exit.....turned into a second loop which was more of the mellow variety ;)
Interesting stats from my I-phone app:
2 hr: 21 min...inclusive of three dismounts and wax applications
7.45 avg Km/hr......waaaaay faster first loop...should have made it two separate sessions....
1209 Calories
17.54 km..
AhhhHA check this out: breakdown of avg spd per km...love this app
Km1 - 3.47 km/hr(like bambi on ice until I waxed appropriately, twice stopped to apply)
Km2 - 5.98
Km3 - 10.27
Km4 - 10.4
Km5 - 9.44
Km6 - 5.69
Km 7 - 11.99
Km8 - 8.44 (this is where I met up with Fil and Tim)
Km9 - 7.67
Km10 - 8.39
Km11 - 7.66
Km12 - 10.62 (broke away for alittle bit of a rip here)
Km14 - 8.21
Km 15 - 7.11
Km 16 - 7.84
Km17 - 9.69(last time for a ripper up some nice gradual climb)
Km18 - 4.54
Now here is where it gets fun...Timex HR stats:
2 hr 22 min
In zone - 43 min
Avg HR- 141
Peak HR - 175
Min HR - 76
Total Calories.....1885...mmmmm food gooooood
So this week it's time to crank it up a notch..expect a good showing in the garage for tonight's spin san Fil as he is working....should be 6 of us then and keep momentum flowing for remainder of week :)
