This was a bad run week for me. I only got one run in due to work and family commitments. I'm really going to have to be better about this, because I really want to improve my running.
Today was another 1:30 bike. I tried out a new program on my computer using the CompuTrainer called NetAthlon. The courses are much better than the CompuTrainer 3D courses, but I had some technical issues to work out. The plan was to ride a little over half the Wildflower Triathlon course (Wildflower is a half iron distance race in California) and try to maintain a moderate effort. However, I don't think NetAthlon was controlling the CT load generator properly. I'd hit a "hill" on the course, and it didn't feel as though the load changed at all. I need to figure that one out if I want to purchase the NetAthlon software.
Instead, I simply tried to ride 1:30 straight averaging about 200 watts. The load on the CT was weird, though. I was at an "in between" gearing, where the easy gear left me betwen 170 watts and 190 watts, and the harder gear put me between 210 and 230 watts. I ended up shifting back and forth, depending on how my heart rate was affected.
