Today was another Endurance ride on the CompuTrainer. This was the first ride with the new Heart Rate cable from CompuTrainer. I had been having problems with my HR disappearing during the ride or not even having one at all. After an e-mail to the folks at Racermate they sent me out one of the new cables that they just started getting in. This cable is a little bit thicker to help with interference from other wireless devices and also has an LED in line so you can see that it is working. Getting back to the ride, it was for two hours and my average HR was 155 and my average Watt output was 192. Since taking the Test a couple weeks ago the workouts have been much harder, I’m starting to wonder if I didn’t have the CompuTrainer calibrated right for the test. I’ll stick with the workouts through the next few weeks and we will find out at the next scheduled test.
On a nutritional note, I had a glass of milk mixed with Hammer Recoverite after my workout and felt much better. The strawberry flavor was pretty good. I’m thinking that I have been waiting too long to get some nutrients into my body. I had it right away today, didn’t wait until after the shower.
