Thanks, Wahine. I think that makes sense, too. So, tomorrow I'll be riding with a friend - no idea what her pace/fitness is actually like, especially on the road bike. My intention is to keep a fairly low HR, but there will be some hills, so I"ll treat those as my intervals, and make sure I do full recovery after each effort. And next time we do one of the interval DVD's, I'll make sure I do full recovery, even if it means missing some of the intervals....eventually I won't miss any, right? Hopefully, one day, I can ride beside DH without it killing him that I'm going so slow, and killing me trying to keep up with him! heh.

KG - if you find something in the book, please let me know.

Hugs and butterflies,
