2 hours and 50 minutes. I headed for my "hill play" area and went at it. I ascended San Joaquin Hills first, then descended Newport Coast and climbed it...

AT MY PERSONAL BEST TIME!

The best part about this is that when I was field tested in November, I was absolutely, totally blown up at the end of this hill climb. Today I cut 14 seconds off my previous personal best time, my heart rate wasn't through the roof, I could have pushed harder and I felt great. Just in a groove and feeling phenomenal today!

After NC, I went up Vista Ridge (9.3%av grade) for .6 miles and then up Ridge Park (9.3%av grade) for .85 miles...looked at my watch and realized I was making good time so descended to the Bonita side of Newport Coast and climbed that. Descended San Joaquin Hills and then decided to turn up another road to get another couple hundred feet of climbing in.

Ended up with 38.2 miles and 2660 ft of climbing for the day. Not bad. Almost forgot...I got scolded by the coach/boyfriend for not doing base miles today. Oops.

Oh, and I've been suspicious that my Polar was losing some of my miles since when I move my hands from the handlebars it registers 0 for speed. I had both my Powertap and Polar on today and I was shocked that I lost almost 2 miles on the Polar! It also gets wacky at night if I put it too close to my Niterider. Grrrrr.
