site stats

If you didn’t know already: IE does not display this site correctly, due to web standards. Most importantly IE is susceptible to viruses, and spyware; due to Microsoft’s inability to patch it’s own browser in a timely manner. So I highly recommend, a safe, more standards compliant browser such as Mozilla Firefox.

16 miler…

March 26th, 2006

I’ve worked out 3 days in a row! WOOO! (3 different sports too)

Today, I went for a medium length bike ride, 16 miles. It is nothing like the bike rides Mike goes on, but it’s enough to get the heart going. Here are my stats…

  • Total Time: 1h05min00s
  • Distance: 16.1 mi
  • Heart rate avg: 82% / 159 bpm
  • Heart rate max: 108% / 210 bpm (hmmm, am I supposed to be able to go above 100%?)
  • Calories (burned): 854 Kcal
  • Speed avg: 14.7 mi/h
  • Speed max: 24.4 mi/h

Going toward LB, I was averaging about 12mph. :( I was a bit sad because I used to be able to average closer to 16mph on the same route. I am guessing I was going into strong head wind going there because coming back, I was averaging about 18mph. It felt GREAT coming back. I would be going 18-20mph at 90rpm with only medium level of effort. I was flyin! I would be happy if I can average 18mph all the time…

Anyway, I am feeling a bit tired now. I’ll probably sleep early tonight…

GO ME!

Another 28 miler…

February 12th, 2006

Today we did the same bike ride we did last week. The turnout today was much greater. I had no idea so many people were coming. There were a total of 6 people! (Me, Ariff, Thomas, Todd, Shelley, and Trish) Here are the stats from today’s ride…

  • Total Time: 2h08min00s
  • Distance: 28.6 mi
  • Heart rate avg: 77% / 151 bpm
  • Heart rate max: 93% / 182 bpm
  • Calories (burned): 1167 Kcal (this would be a bit low since I didn’t start the watch til 27 minutes into the ride)
  • Speed avg: 13.5 mi/h
  • Speed max: 24.5 mi/h
  • Things consumed during the ride: 2 24oz bottles of GU2o, 1 Clif bar

I am feeling the after-effects of the ride now. :( I should be studying, but I got this killer headache. ARG! (Cold-like symptoms are symptoms of over-training)

28.6 miler…

February 5th, 2006

If you read the title and thought Ely has gone crazy and ran a marathon, I FOOLED YA! The 28.6 miles were on the bike. :) Here are the stats…

  • Total Time: 2h15min12s
  • Distance: 28.6 mi
  • Heart rate avg: 77% / 150 bpm
  • Heart rate max: 92% / 179 bpm
  • Calories (burned): 1544 Kcal
  • Speed avg: 12.7 mi/h
  • Speed max: 22.0 mi/h
  • Number of horses saw: I lost count…

    • Again, the stats definitely show the effects not biking for 3 monthes. :( However, I am pleasently surprised that I can still do 28 miles without falling over (actually, I almost did when I got off my bike in the end). Cycling is the best way to burn fat I think. It keeps me at a good heart rate so I can go for a long time. Check out my stats! I burned 1544 calories!

    I am pretty pooped. I think I’ll take a nap before THE SUPERBOWL!
