Met Tom at 6:00 AM at the top of the Hill of Life in Austin, TX. Temp in the high 70's and high humidity. We did 11 reps of the HOL. Heart rate generally in the mid 150's on the ascent and down to 133 on the descent, same HR as I had at Pikes Peak two weeks ago.
The last 4 reps were the fastest of all, even as the day warmed up into the 90's. We pushed the last ascent the most and got the HR up into the high 160's, a great run. Afterwords we drove down to Barton Springs and dipped in the spring to cool down, wow what a refreshing dip. Then Lynn and Tom and I went over to Maudie's and had breakfast with Karen F and Karen H who gave us their report on the week they had in Colorado riding the Rockies on their bikes. Boy, did they have some stories, wow. What a great way to start the weekend. |
