Ran early today on the treadmill. This is seen on the second half of the recorded set here (minutes 15:30 thru 30:30), the first part is yesterday's run. I haven't explored my watch enough to really know all the tricks and hang-ups, so sometimes I get funky data. Or, as the case has been lately, no data. :(
This was a nice set, I like intervals. I ran at 10:45 for warmup/recovery and at 8:41 for the interval. Five by 60/60 felt good. Nice and sweaty afterward.
This afternoon I had to go down to my office, so I rode my bike. Unfortunately, the tune-up I received on Wednesday resulted in a rear brake that was too tight and a front derailleur that wouldn't give me the big ring. So, I made the workout work in my favor anyway and did small ring work with high cadence. The data looks pretty with my 90/30 intervals. However, I kind of ran out of functional road at the end, so my finish was too low (supposed to be Z3). Downtown is a mess!
After I finished at the office I went back to my LBS to rework the bike. The new mechanic, who had serviced my bike previously, took a look at it and fixed my brake. But when I left the shop, the derailleur was still defunct, so I ended up turning around and going back. Fortunately Jose, the shop's awesomely fast and precise bike mechanic, not only fixed the problem, but I swear my gears are smoother than they've ever been. He's so spot-on, he even noticed a loose part when he test drove the bike to ensure it's functionality. Yay, Jose!
I am hoping to make it into the pool tonight, but when I went on Tuesday, I discovered that the payment for the month hadn't gone through... If I am unable to trouble shoot that I may have to call this a "bi-fecta" or a "du-fecta" or perhaps just call it "de-fecta"... 'cause that's what I feel like.
