Fitfest: Cycling in the cold


Bloody hell it was cold this morning. I'll have to see if I can pick up anything to keep my head warm...though my headphones help: I've recently ressurected my bluetooth headphones for my phone. They're great for hearing your phone ring when you're on your bike, and for listening to some radio - or, if you're me, the Adam & Joe podcast. I always think it needs at least 3 listens to get everything that's happening.

I also started using the Nokia Sports Tracker for my cycle journeys. It measures everything by GPS, so while maybe not entirely accurate, it's close enough. My stats for today's journey were:

Duration:43:52hrs
Distance: 12.44km
Avg Speed: 17km/h
Max Speed: 42km/h

I doubt if I get up 42km/h, but maybe I do for very short periods of time. I need to look at exporting the data to get a further analysis.

I also swam this morning, but not much since I had a 9am meeting. So I get about 10 lengths in before I had to leave.
