5:00 am - Not so much fun...

So here I am - up at the ass-crack of dawn again to get on my trainer. I have to say that although I am proud of myself for increasing my frequency of mounting Clyde (get used to it, I'm going to make lame sexual references to my bike from time to time...why else would I have given it a dude's name?); however, the early early morning stuff is not so much fun. Again, since I'm on the blackburn, I have limited data to report back out but I'm going to wear the heart rate monitor and see if I can at least use that feature independently.

Day - Tuesday, 11/20
Ride Type - Indoor Training
Ride Distance - 11.5 miles*

Ride Length - 1:00:38

Avg Speed - 11.5*

Avg Cadence - 77

Avg Heart Rate - 140

Time in zone - 0:54:17
Calories burned - 785

Total Training Distance To-Date: 236.1 miles

*This is an estimate, since the speedometer/odometer are on the front fork and therefore cannot measure when I'm in the trainer. I extrapolate the speed and distance based upon distance covered, avg mph and cadence from the past few rides. IE - last ride was 1453 calories, 21.1 miles and 70 avd cad. This ride was a little more than 1/2 the calories, about 1/2 the time and 10% increase in cadence....ergo - the speed estimate and then use that against time for the distance estimate. Anyone got any better suggestions? I'm open (beyond possibly moving my sensors to my back fork?).
