I got my Peloton “Cooldown 2020” video this weekend. I think its fun that they make these and kudos to them for making them easy to download and keep. #FitByFifty
New 60-min Peloton PR
I hit a new 60-min PR in Matt Wilpers Power Zone Endurance Ride this morning. 676 kJ versus my previous 653 kJ from Sep 26, 2020.
It was another Zone 2 / 3 ride but I leveled it up since I felt like my zone data is a little old. I need to do a new FTP test! I spent a lot of time in the higher end of Zone 4. You can see that the last 3 efforts my power faded a bit. I was definitely feeling it in my legs.
My heart rate was at Threshold for 67% of the ride and bursted into Max Capacity during the efforts toward the end. You can see I was a bit gassed as my heart rate was climbing and power was dropping in those final efforts.
It was a great ride and I was joined by a number of friends riding live as well. I’m a big fan of Peloton Live Rides, it encourages you to push and make the most of it. #FitByFifty
This seems like a moment in time worth noting. The founder of Facebook and one of the richest people in the world (also holding special shares of stock that makes him unaccountable) just banned the President of the United States from the biggest social platform in the world, with very good reason. These are very odd times.
My daughter gave me this great workout shirt for my birthday and my Fit By Fifty project. I absolutely love it. 🤩 One year to go!
CTO Spotlight: Candid Conversations wth Minnesotan Leaders
I got a chance to join Jac Stark and Nels Pederson of Tech.MN for this CTO Spotlight conversation. We covered a wide range of topics. It was a good conversation. We recorded this in August 2020, but it didn’t get published until December.
We all watched Soul tonight and liked it a lot. The story, message, visuals were all awesome! We will definitely watch it again. 🍿
We had a fabulous afternoon XC skiing at Theodore Wirth today. It was our first time out as a family, and we had a blast!
Watched Ad Astra tonight. Enjoyed it. It was pretty much what I expected, which was just fine with me. 🍿🚀
1,000 Subscribers
I’ve had a “soft” goal for the Weekly Thing to get to 1,000 subscribers and it got there today! Plus it is fun that Buttondown sends a note like this.
We watched Ralph Breaks the Internet tonight and everyone liked it. I loved all the various references to different websites. Wish there would have been a blog or two though! 🍿
