Today, I did another trip for the “Tracking for Freedom” project and for the first time, I was not alone. Three triathletes from TriTeam Chaos allowed me to join them on their bicycle tour. They taught me slipstreaming and I owe them a big thank you for taking me with them. I think I have never had a higher average speed on one of my tours. The track was already familiar with me, but I have never followed it so far in the past. Of course I’m not in the shape to go for a whole tour with professional triathletes, so I had to return earlier than the others.
The usual numbers:
| Total distance | 67.7 km |
|---|---|
| Average speed | 27.7 km/h |
| Maximum speed | 40.8 km/h |
| Total climb | 213 m |
| Average heart rate | 167 bpm |
| Maximum heart rate | 194 bpm |
| Time active | 02:20:12 |
| Time resting | 00:26:34 |
| Energy consumed | 2532 kcal |
Note: The climb was measured using a non-calibrated barometric altimeter; the amount of energy consumed was calculated from the measured heart rate and physiological parameters.
