Tsugaike heart rate data

Good ride Andy!
Well done on completing the hillclimb-TT double yet again.
Interesting HR data too. As you well know, I don't use any kind of computer at the moment, but I was wondering if you are looking at the data more often in the TT compared to the morning race? Do other riders also tend to have a lower HR in the second effort? Would be interesting to compare the morning and TT time split on that upper section of the course.

Cheers Andrew!

At Tsugaike I was looking at the data in the morning as I knew I would have to go again in the afternoon and didn't want to blow up. If it was just the one climb, I would dig in more to follow wheels but there were quite a few ocassions when I eased off or shifted up a gear to stop going too hard.

I don't know about other riders but I always find it hard to go a second time. I think Murayama san always had a big gap in performance on the second climb too. However I seem to remember Arthur would usually go better in the afternoon.

I'll have a look at the data again and see if I can compare the two times. However, on the couple os steep corners on the second climb I felt like I was coming to a halt at times.....

Hi Andy,

Just wrote a good follow up but the server deleted all of my words!!!

Let's discuss again next time on Yahiko!

Andrew,

That's a shame! It would've been nice to read it. Looking forward to the next time on Yahiko then....

Andy
