So after a Winter of ski instructing,
spring has shown up again (sort of, snow is predicted for later
tonight again). This means the bikes can come out again and this year
I have another piece of technology I want to test out. It is by no
means new, but I've never used one before. I'm talking about a heart
rate monitor that you can wear whilst doing sport. Rather a lot of
people around tend to use them and mum had one lying around she
hasn't used in years. Not for lack of sport on her part though, it's
just the watch is a technological difficult thing to use it would
seem (took me a few hours to get it sorted out) and it does to much
of which she doesn't need.
Anyway, bike out and ready. Long things
on straight from the start. The warm weather from the sun over the
past few days has passed and the condition has swung around to being
overcast and three degrees. Originally I had wanted to bike around
the Grüntensee, but a short run on an open flat section changed my
plan to biking along the wind protected Wertachtal. Heart rate
monitor working fine, not uncomfortable or anything and it is really
interesting to see what your heart is doing. According to all the
graphs and tests I'd done before, I'm a rather healthy individual,
although I don't feel like it. Once up and out of the valley the
temperature dropped due to the wind blowing occasional. In Stich I
turned of to Maria Rain and planned to go back down in to Wertachtal,
but that way is closed due to logging as I found out at the church.
Carried on along the main road over open field with every part of me
getting colder. Crossed the Wertachtal bridge with not to much
traffic going on and returned home to get all the data out of the
computer to see how I did.
Track at GPSies.
