P.M. New record for Emigration descent: 32:37 over 7.64 = 14.0 mph over 1345 ft ascent, ave HR = 178, peak = 189 during final sprint.
I'm clearly getting stronger and more skilled as a cyclist. A few weeks ago it required an all-out effort to get my HR over 170 (a marathon HR for me) on bike. Now I can sustain the mid/lower 170s with just a little more effort than it requires when running, meaning I am able to use my muscles better when cycling and utilize a greater fraction of my max cardiac output.
20.24 mi total ride distance.

Week summary = 80 miles of riding and 14 miles of running/hiking. |
