90 RPM

Yesterday I rode 25.6 miles - a big jump with moderate IT-band pain afterward, but bearable. The goal of the training was to stay at or slightly above a 90RPM cadence - which proved more difficult than expected early on, and for the second half of the ride actually pretty easy. In fact, I started pedaling too fast very frequently and had to shift to slow myself down. My heart rate never went above 75% though, so I count it as a very successful workout.

Next bike workout: perfect circles!

Tonight is cross-training in Sherman Oaks with LA Tri Club - always a fun time and a great workout (except for the trying-to-walk-for-the-next-three-days part...)
