Move over Warnie...

I'm spinning up a storm.

Today I hit the bike for my 31.5K midweek ride, and I stuck with spinning in the low gears. I'm still getting the hang of it, and I think I took it a bit too hard today. The bike computer is still on the blink, but the available figures are that the HR hovered in the high 140s, and I did the ride in 77 minutes where it normally takes me 84.

I'm a bit unsure about what to do from here. I think I went out a bit hard today - my quads were burning a bit and I'm not sure I could have kept going at the same pace. I did a fair bit of coasting today, so maybe I should try a lower gear, but I feel like it's pretty bloody low already. I might have a bit of a talk to some of the tri club people on Saturday. I might head to the gym and hit the stationary bike, where I can get a feel for what 90 rpm feels like. I'm just finding the spinning a bit hard to judge.
