I have decided that I suck at keeping myself within a heart rate zone. Especially on the bike. I really want to find a new way of thinking about my rides, I always feel like I'm going too slow. It doesn't help when you get passed four times by a guy on a Bianchi wearing a rear-view mirror.
In all honesty, I'm not slow. I'm not fast, necessarily, but I'm not slow. I tried to keep myself in zone 2 (after I realized that I was working too hard initially) and did 15 minutes of drills at the fountain (AKA: 5mph) and still averaged 13mph overall.
I can tell I am starting to have power in my legs tho, I am able to conjure it up on hills and prolong my threshold of tolerance in tough spots. It's getting there. Keep lifting weights, keep working on intervals, keep doing drills...
Speaking of drills, I did 5 minutes of one-leg pedal drills and 15 minutes of drills at the fountain. Arms and abs felt it.
