Update. I got that Garmin monitor and the data showed me my HRs were
odd. I figured out that the beta blockers I was on were really
messing with my HRs. I got onto another med that is a beta 1 blocker
(not a beta 1 and 2 blocker) and that really helped. (BTW, it's for glaucoma.) The beta 2 blocker was making me bonk and gain weight, and
have weird energy levels since it blocks gluconeogensis (glycogen to
glucose pathway).
Anyway, I've been looking at Seilor again and forwarding his info to
a training partner. BTW, I read through the thread. My VO2 max tests
were when I was about 40. I was tested twice about 1 year apart: 67
and 75. The first time I exclusively sat on the bike, the second time
I stood (and I was lighter), which is more natural for me.
I'm all ears.I do hope he's still skiing!
More fishing than skiing.
I really like my new Garmin 620, the impact timing and stride statistics are quite interesting, particularly when you've spent parts of the race scrambling through heather & marshland. :-)
I realize there are newer units, but I suspect I will not use it for more than a HR monitor. I should use the GPS data, but it seems I don't adopt much electronic technology. If there are other units (less expensive than the 620) that I should consider,
few and far between.....at least take a look.You guys are invited to participate over at www.xcskiforum.com. I bet there is more traffic and I find it an easy interface.
Jay! Where's your sense of tradition & history?
Yeah, it's like a 30 year high school reunion...with five people. The xcskiforum doesn't get much traffic either, but it is an easier and better looking interface. Yeah, there's reminiscing in the Unix of the 90s, but it looks like the posts here are
BTW, (I suspect) one of our techs for the US team seems to be posting a few comments, but I can only guess who it is. Last night I listened to a talk by one of the coach/techs, but it was hard to get something useful for me. The world cup is such adifferent world than my racing.
Btw Terje, it sounds like you're still kicking ass and taking names. Good for you.
Jay
