Do the Tighten Up

I'll see if I can make this dance week on solobreak... The long ride Saturday has left me with a big knot in my left ass muscle, and a bit of tightness in the hamstrings as well. This week's training may have to be of a therapeutic nature. I'll also post some bike porn of my D2R2 rig, which came to life yesterday.

This morning I am a bit short on time. You may have noticed recently that I've caught on to the "a picture is worth a thousand words" theory of blogging, and since I haven't got the time for a thousand words, I'll post a few pictures. Here are some more geeky Polar graphs. If you've got a Polar, maybe you've never taken the time to explore past the default graphing settings. Here I have my 2006 bike training by HR zone. Selecting the summarize by month option, I made two graphs, one with all zones, and one with just zones 4-5c. On the latter, it is interesting to note that from April to July the total stays about the same, but the intensity keeps getting higher. Cool. More analysis to come. Thanks for reading.



This one has just the high-intensity stuff. Also please note that August isn't over yet.
