Day 23 Ride (8/15/2006)

Another post of my ride notes, with numbers from my Polar CS200cad ride computer. Staged as normal from Yorba Linda Regional Park, and rode toward the beach along the Santa Ana River Trail. Felt really good, so I focused on upping my cadence, targeting 85, tickling 90 at times. Had planned to up my distance back to the 10.7 mile ride I had done as my first post-op ride. The distance felt good, and I was able to return faster than I rode out. Rode quite a bit of the return ride over my target heartrate zone, but in the 10 beats per minute range. After the ride, I felt that I could have gone farther. 30 minutes after that, I felt like taking a nap. The numbers: 8/15 11:39am Exe Time: 49:48 Mean HR: 144 Max HR: 165 HR Zone: 138-151 In Zone: 27:18 Above Zone: 12:17 Below Zone: 10:13 Kcal: 653 Distance: 10.7 miles Mean Speed 12.9 mph Max Speed: 24.3 mph Mean Cad: 84 Max Cad: 98 Ride Time: 49:48 Outbound Time: 25:59 Mean HR: 137 Max HR: 155 Mean Speed: 12.2 mph Mean Cad: 83 Return Time: 23:48 Mean HR:151 Max HR: 165 Mean Speed: 13.6 mph Mean Cad: 85
