I woke up in time for my planned ride but with the sound of the rain coming down, I went back to sleep. I'm a little disappointed, especially since I actually enjoyed the ride home yesterday in the rain and despite the mean headwind. Now I have to make this session up. Weekend MTB anyone?

Well, what do you know? I felt more than a little disappointed about not riding this morning that I went home at lunch time, got my bike and brought it back to work so I could do an interval session in the evening, rain, hail or shine. It worked out ok in the end with the rain only being a light shower. I don't think I even got that wet either. Really happy that I got out to do this session. That's 2 good sessions this week, and 2 last week. Consistency, here I come!

12xHeart Break Hill @ AT with active recovery (~2:40)

For 1,2,3,7,8,9 I allowed myself to stand up on the pedals when I wanted to. 4,5,6,10,11,12 I had to stay seated throughout. Each time I kept my arse on the seat, the time increased by a few seconds - probably because standing allows you to use different muscle groups and briefly rest the ones used when sitting.

I also used my POLAR HR strap today with the Garmin control module. After about 20 minutes of errratic readings, it worked beautifully, recording proper, accurate and steady data. Check this out: http://connect.garmin.com/activity/44197224
