2010-10-08 Workout

Heart Rate vs. Time

Duration: ~ 1 hour
Trail: Butler-Freeport Trail

Unfortunately, I got a flat tire on the trail today and I had no way of fixing it on the trail. I’m not much for carrying spare tubes and replacing them on the trail or road. My car was at the Monroe Road trailhead and I was stranded 8 miles up the trail at Keasey Road, past Marwood. I know several people in the area I could have called for a ride, but Corey P. from the Pittsburgh Ruby Brigade happened to walk by with his dog, Merlin and recognized me behind the sunglasses and the helmet. Unbeknownst to me, he lives nearby and he gave me a ride back down to my car, for which I am very grateful. I owe him a beer.

So I didn’t get my workout finished today. Everything I did do was mostly in Zone 4 with a bit in Zone 3. I guess I’ll finish out my points for the week on the indoor bike tomorrow morning and then see about getting the tube repaired on the mountain bike. Its a shame because this weekend looks to be a beautiful one for biking on the trails. Hm… maybe I’ll take the road bike out tomorrow morning.
