I am a 2nd grader

There were several arithmetic errors in the original version of yesterday's post. I miscalculated my speed up Big Blue for the elapsed time of 6:40. I stopped at 3600 (seconds in an hour)/400 seconds elapsed time and thus came up with 9 kph, but I needed to multiply by 1.4 to get the actual speed of 12.6 kph. (my ass-backwards calculation were telling me I could do this climb 9 times in one hour). So of course this threw off my power number (it should have been higher) and my cadence number (also higher). Oops.
