HIlls repeat workout #1... by scott_t_ct at Garmin Connect - Details
My first hill repeat workout in years...Did a short warm up to the hill I wanted to try near the WCC, as traffic is not too bad there. 1/2 mile hill done 5X. I was a bit tired from the prior days ride, but wanted to get the hills in today, to rest tomorrow, so I could ride hard on Saturday with Nick..
Going to swim this afternoon and then Cyntergy...Maybe.

Middletown-Berlin Ride... by scott_t_ct at Garmin Connect - Details
Middletown-Berlin Ride... by scott_t_ct at Garmin Connect - Details
This is a modified ride through Middletown, similar to the ride to Lymann, but went around through East Berlin instead. Took the last couple of miles to ride easy to burn some lactate, as I added an additional HARD loop through Cromwell while waiting for my brother Nick at the shop. It was like doing double sessions - Hill ride with a sprint at the end...
My knees hurt a bit now, but I am enjoying the fatigue as apposed to lack there of...Although it was somewhat slower today, allot more hill here, and got lost and took a detour up a steep hill loop around a neighborhood at the top of the Middletown climb, just what I needed...
Walk/Ran this morning using my new Garmin FR60 HR Monitor. I cannot upload that data yet, as I am waiting for the USB Ant+ Stick to come in.

Summer Training Begins in Earnest.
Fartlet Training Session with Garmin Connect File - by scott_t_ct at Garmin Connect - Details
Feels good to be able to work out maximally again without coughing up a bunch of Flem. Got a quick unstructured interval workout in, called Fartlet Training. I worked to fatigue and then rested trying to keep my efforts hard and between 75-85% HR Max, and then rest until I felt strong enough to continue another bout. 18 miles with a few hills mixed in were good. Tried to keep my hill efforts to over 10 mph, which I did all but once. Got my maxExHR to around 160 bts/min which was awesome. I did not feel any tightness in the chest at all, NICE!
Need to stick to my diet, and loose weight so I can ride faster. Not ready for longer hills yet, but need to do some hill training. Friday is my scheduled day for this. Tomorrow is long ride day of 40+, not really going to worry about speed but keep my HR under 150 bts/min.
Received my Garmin FR60 HR Monitor for walk/jogging yesterday and am anxious to see how it works. I like the fact that I can now use 1 site to track all my workouts...NICE!
Going to HeathTrac to swim but I must first buy some silicone ear plugs, goggles (unless I can find the ones in my car), and a new bathing suit. Going to try Dick's first, then wally world.

2 mile walk and 18 mile ride...Nice to be off for the summer!
After a two week layoff and two days in the hospital for cardiac testing, it was nice to be back working out and on the road again... Took a two mile walk/jog this morning followed by an 18 mile bike ride! Nice! Didn't really feel any lingering after effects from the hospital stay, and didn't have my usual wind issue. .. (not farts). Felt good to work hard outside for the first time this year. Now I need to work on my weight and fitness. If I stick close to my training regime I should see results by mid July.

Essex and back by scott_t_ct at Garmin Connect - Details
Untitled by scott_t_ct at Garmin Connect - Details -
Went to Essex and back to Wethersfield today just to see if I could. I haven't been feeling all that great, so I decided to push my luck a bit in the dry weather. Lately I have had trouble breathing, which has effected my fitness a bit, as I cannot go hard without having an asthma attach. Today was clear sailing...:)
After about 54 miles or so, I began to cramp because of the dry weather and windy conditions. I was well hydrated and used electrolite pills along the way every hour or so. However this did not help. At times I had to slow down quite a bit, as the soreness set into my seat! Ouch! My butt hurt bad the last 15 miles or so. Could barely sit down.
Anyway, I made it! That was my goal! Now I have to pick things up a bit to get ready for summer riding...Go long!
