Thanks, that was great fun. Egads, 440 watts for half an hour! My rowing machine measures watts... I can do maybe 130 watts for half an hour!
Cold here today, like 10F. Got out for 15 miles or so. Put water in a hydro-pack under my jacket to keep it from freezing. Ran the hose down my arm and pulled it through the pit zip to sip. If I left it out for long it would freeze up. I did see another rider out, sporty looking fellow with a neoprene face mask similar to mine. Usually those high speed guys will ignore me but today I got a hello in response to mine. Mostly I kept warm except my toes really froze. I was trying a different pair of boots that have a bit of insulation. Still I need to bulk up with the socks. Tricky because too much will cram the space and cut circulation. It's a learning process!
Yeah, if I train consistently, maybe I will get to 140 watts! If I can just carry a camping load up the hill, that's all I want!
