How do you journal your cycling? I have read through different threads here, but it really didn't answer it for me. 30 miles drafting in a group is different from 30 miles alone is different from 30 miles in a tri while racing. How do you do that?

I guesstimate it. Basically, when you choose an activity, you also have to choose an intensity. I usually think about the course, how much climbing there was versus flat, and try to be honest about my level of effort.

If I do a 2 hour ride that involved a half hour of climbing, I'll probably put down the half hour of climbing at high intensity, an hour of moderate, and the last half hour (which involves the descending portion) at low. Seems to work for me.
