Had good ride yesterday on the mountain bike for a few hours, only doing a quick one hour spin on the road bike this morning since I have big day of testing scheduled for Thursday. No, not scholastic testing but an EKG treadmill heart test in the morning at Kaiser. Since I will be under lot's of stress in June riding my bike loaded with 25 pounds 60-100 miles per day my, Doctor recommended I take an EKG test to make sure my heart has no hidden flaws not detectable in regular check-ups. In the afternoon I visit Craig Upton Labs in Marin to have a lactate threshold test done in order to program out my correct heart rate rate, understand my VO max capacity and design a proper training model and program. Meant to do this months ago, but getting ill, work, life just got in the way. 200 bucks for the blood test and program consultation. I have to pedal my bike to exhaustion while wired up and getting my blood tested while doing it. My riding buddy Greg says then I will know the physical parameters of what I can do, cannot, and how to stay in the proper riding zone hour after hour. Legs still a little sore from last Sunday beat down riding the GPC, but better. It won't be long....
