It's Alive!!

I actually got my Heart Rate Monitor to work! I decided to try it out this morning for my trainer session, and surprisingly it started to work. I had to literally hold the watch touching the strap, and then it picked up the signal. It is a little sketchy, and loses the signal if I lean back to far on my bike, but it worked for most of the ride.

It was helpful to see where I was at, so hopefully I will be able to use heartrate for Ironman. I did 3 hours today. I did 2 Aerobasebuilder Spinervals, and then the last 40 min, I just watched Sex and the City. It felt good, although my crotch was a little sore by the end. I ended up drinking 2 gatorade bottles, a water bottle, and ate a cliff bar, a gel, a few jelly belly sport beans, and some cinnamon hearts. I think if I was running afterwards, I would have needed more.

I have been trying to eat all day now. I feel a little tired/hungry, even though I have been eating basically all day. My roomate and I are going to go get some Taco Del Mar for dinner, so that should be lovely.



Hopefully I can feed myself enough to have some energy to study tonight! I have 2 midterms this week. Hooray!
Oh, it is finally supposed to warm up by Thurs, so it seems reading week will provide me with the chance to take the new bike for a spin.
