Highest heartrate reached was 186bpm racing up Killavullen hill.It is recorded as 211bpm on the garmin log which is obviously incorrect.I could probably reach just over 190bpm.My resting heart rate is really high at the moment-well over 50.Raced hard last Thursday doing 24 miles in 55 mins and did a time trial the day before also.With two weeks to go I will probably just do maybe one more time trial mid week next week and also test my power output against my weight doing my usual test on the indoor bike over 4 minutes.Other than that I will be doing mostly easy aerobic work to bring down my resting heart rate and rest.Ive lost another few pounds and am really getting lean now.Im very happy with my progress,really looking forward to the race.Did the spin below with two very fit young friends today,Kevin-a jockey and Cathal a secondary school teacher.Two great guys in their early twenties-great company.
