Today I went for another ride on the local Rails-To-Trails. Initially I had just planned to go around 12-15 miles, followed by some exploring of downtown Hattiesburg (I wanted to see where a new music venue was opening up). Anywho, I saw that tomorrow we’re supposed to have thunderstorms, so I decided to go a full 20 miles today just in case I can’t fit any miles in tomorrow. This marks my second 20-mile ride, and I improved my average speed from 12.9 mph on Thursday to 13.3 mph today. Unfortunately, I hit the “lap” button on my Garmin Edge 305, so it started applying time/miles/calories/etc. to the next “lap” before I was done with the 20 miles on the trail. Oh well, it’s just a minor mistake, since it happened at the last 0.5 miles.
Here are the stats, which include the trip to the trail and the trip back to the office after I was done with the workout:
| Distance: | 21.38 mi |
| Time: | 1:40:35 |
| Avg Pace: | 4:42 min/mi |
| Avg Speed: | 12.8 mph |
| Elevation Gain: | 290 ft |
| Calories: | 1,529 C |
Now the question is, since it’s telling me I burned 1529 calories (which I do think is inflated), how do I assuage my hunger while still staying on the healthy side? That’s something I have to work on … I’m always starving after a long workout, lol.
