I did consider adding on territories, but then decided I'd rather rest that challenge for a while and ride random places. Plus it's hard to find video rides on some of the smaller locations, e.g. Guam and have them be worthwhile if they do exist.

Hm... kind of intrigued by this. I have an Edge 510 that works perfectly fine to the best of my knowledge... but this is a nice price on a little upgrade.Was somebody looking for a cheap garmin the other day?

Save your avocados and find a deal on a 530.
See the bullet list for improvements in the 530 over the 520plus, battery life alone would make me go that way. I really like the climbpro feature.
Garmin Edge 530 Cycling GPS In-Depth Review
Today Garmin announced three new products, the Edge 530 (this review), the Edge 830 (that review), and new dual ANT+/Bluetooth Smart Speed and Cadence sensors (that review coming up momentarily). These products effectively complete Garmin's x30 lineup of higher-end cycling

I agree, I really like the 530. Was one of the few items I didn't cheap out on (onyx hubs being another). I don't remember exactly what the upgrades were over the 520, but the rainmaker review had me convinced that this was the way to go.Save your avocados and find a deal on a 530.

Still, same cost as the 130 but with color maps and some other shit, might be worth it to the right person.
That seems like an overwhelming number of dataSave your avocados and find a deal on a 530.

All I want is power, and Strava export. POWER
So was it hard or did it not extend?
it was a suitable hardness and duration to satisfy my goals
Haven't ridden the trainer in months. Schedule and weather prompted a ride on the dork logger tonight. No FTP test but I averaged 235 watts over 45 minutes. Last FTP test said 240 watts. My previous 45 minute best was 215. Hooray for riding outside on trails. Over the same time period dropped 8 lbs and probably converted another 15 lbs or so of fat into muscle.
question for you fitb0is
I went for a run yesterday with my HR strap on for the first time basically ever. It was a reasonable run, not fast but I am not a runner. My HR climbed to 180 and then settled at 172 for the duration of the workout. My RHR is like 49 and my max is 188, so this was pretty maxed out. This is the second run I've done in about a year, so my body isn't really accustomed to it. My question is, how bad is it that I was in the threshold HRZ for the duration of my relatively casual 2mi run?

I mean, I'm amazed you aren't already dead.
That's probably not good. One dude I follow on Twitter used to run like that consistently and now has atherosclerotic disease that he really shouldn't have given age and otherwise fitness.
i would say part of it is that your body isn't currently conditioned for running.
I get a kick out of watching people with really poor form run. Massive effort, flailing about, doing 3 MPH.
Not saying that is Sanwich's problem, he probably has EbolAIDS.

I mean my tabata set this morning was done up to 164bpm at the end of the session with max effort, so I don’t think it’s super tiger aids.
It’s more likely that I suck at running and I’m also not conditioned. Thinking about it now, something similar happened with rowing when I first got the stupid thing. Plus it was hot and sunny and in the afternoon rather than morning.
But also maybe it’s double hanta virus

So @Toshi can I get your opinion on this; shitty day and wash up:
Already tired, I got up, sorted kids and went to work. Had a double espresso and a very small Danish for breakfast (normally have a far healthier one). Worked pretty hard (desk job, mental load, bitty, multithreaded, more stressful than ‘normal’). Was so busy didn’t have lunch. Had to run kids around all evening so sort of missed dinner, had a bowl of crappy 2 min noodles with hard boiled egg and a bit of capsicum. Finally to ‘destress’ had a really hot bath (hotter than intended), with a couple of beers, heart was noticeably pounding. Measured 120 bpm. Hyperventilated a bit, held breath for 2:30, heart went to 116. Expected? Normal resting is around 60. Have always had slightly higher resting heart rate than average even when ‘very fit’. Blood pressure is borderline bottom end of hypertension, but docs say ‘OK’.

Was said bowl of crappy noodles the kind that comes with a bucket of sodium and nitrates?
Yes to sodium, no to nitrates.
The Apple Watch is approved for detection of a fib but nothing else, plus is just a single electrode by virtue of its design. There are many other possible things to check for, so I wouldn't rely on just that.
First time riding indoors for a couple of months today due to too wet outside.
A nice easy ascent of Alpe d'Huez with my 60 minute power a meagre 221W, but I think that's about 300W if I take my altitude into account

anybody shaping for a head unit? 50 pesetas off a 530.
