3x Bike

A quieter week on the bike. Three rides totaling 55 km and 224 m of climbing, down from 113 km and 714 m last week. No swim this week, and Saturday’s ride didn’t happen.

Monday was an easy Colwood spin — just 6 km to shake out the legs. Thursday’s ride was the sharper effort of the week: 23 km at a solid pace, climbing 81 m and pushing the heart rate up to 161. Friday’s loop was a bit longer at 25.5 km with 88 m of elevation, a more controlled effort that still registered a good aerobic training effect.

Last week had a big 46 km gravel loop with serious climbing. Nothing quite like that this week — the volume dropped in half, and without the weekend ride the week felt incomplete.
