Post/log your PRs here!
Apr 3^rd, 2015, 7:44pm

I thought we might add another ongoing thread along the lines of the Did you ride today? thread. Everybody seems to be doing so great this year - going further, going faster, doing some fast club rides and races like Joseph and Reever.

Here is where you can post your PRs, whatever they may be, and keep track of them. It's not about comparing yourself to anyone but YOU. I can remember when it took all day to do a 10 mile ride and I thought, "Nobody can do that kind of miles on a bike. I'm a stud." Smiley

So most of this won't actually be PRs since I'm just now jotting them down, but it's as good a place as any to start. This is just the data from last Tuesday's ride on the carbent.

power Speed
Peak 90 minutes: 150 18
Peak 60 minutes: 158 18.3
Peak 30 minutes: 174 18.8
Peak 2 minutes: 293 29
Peak 60 seconds: 342 30.5

1 Mile Sprint PR: 28.8 (carbent)
30.1 (VK2)
31.3 (M5 CHR)

6 hour PR: 113 miles
12 hour PR: 221.5
Century: 5 hours 5 minutes bike time - 5h7m total

Swimming:
300 yards: 6m13s

Wow! I guess I need to invest in a power meter. I guess all of those times are on the flats??? I don't know if I have the technology to get all of that data. I've been using map my ride, and it just tells me my time, distance, average speed and split speed every mile......along with playing my playlist as I go.

My family doesn't know it, but for my birthday I'd love to get a Garmin VIRB. Greg, what do you use to get all your data?

Map my ride is a perfect way to get data. You don't have to keep the same stats as me. There are a thousand things you can count as PRs. Distance, speed, whatever. Hell, sometimes just getting on the bike is a PR.

I do use a power tap, combined with training peaks/wko software. I've had it for years, and really just now figuring out how to use it. I think a Garmin virb would be cool!

Completed another 50 and it has a MMR Course "Lakeview." I have used this as measure of where I am with conditioning and just a way to make myself push a little harder when I was riding DFs. It is a 2.4 mile run with one of those 'ha ha gotcha" double bump uphill finish. Set a PR this morning on it.

Nice! Do you happen to have a Garmin file for the map? I keep thinking we need to have a database of local routes for us benters. Maybe I can put one together.

Greg - remember the rbent strava group - you can see the routes there folks are using. We have currently have 20 members in the group, that would be a great primer for your database if you decide to do it. I think anyone with a premium account can export them, if you need any help give me a shout as I started that group for this very purpose so folks could see where others are riding. Your idea takes it one step further for those who don't use strava and opens it up to everyone.

Strava is a free app for both Android and iPhone. Mapmy ride should allow you to export your ride and import it to Strava as well if anyone is interested in doing so.

Great idea, Greg.

Yesterday: 59.17 miles (cumulative)

Ride 1: Errands
15.86 miles @16.5 mph
470 calories

I don't know if these are PRs or not, but I'll use this as a baseline to compare any future efforts to. I rode to Clyde and back after I stopped at a convenience store for a fried apple pie, pack of little white donuts, and a gatorade. So the ride appears as two separate workouts--one uphill and then one downhill. Wind was from the south at 15mph.

For me it was that first 16 miler with Key. He was VERY patient! I'm still at about 12-13 MPH average no matter the bike or the conditions, so it must be the motor. Funny on my commute this morning (finally) I was telling myself on that little hill: "If it was easy everyone would do it!" Then I remembered the Cardiac Attack triple hills out north of McKinney...I've grown weak. Must ride more.

My stats this morning's commute:
24 minutes
4.9 miles
11.88 average
18.95 max

First time traveling with my Axiom panniers loaded for work too. the 700 actually 'feels' a little more stable with the extra weight back there on the rack. Maybe just an illusion though. UK bank holiday so only about 5 cars out the whole way @ 6:30 am. Very nice ride.
