Daily Stats - 5/9/05

Typing that date, I got a strange feeling that it might have been someone's birthday yesterday. I mean, obviously it was someone's birthday yesterday (probably several someones), but I think someone I know. Ah well...it'll come to me. Happy birthday, whoever you are!

I think this machine was calibrated(?) more loosely than the ones I'm used to. I could go much faster at a higher resistance yesterday than I normally can. I could maybe chalk it up to improved fitness level, if it wasn't such a drastic difference. On the high intervals on resistance 6, I got anywhere from 170 to 215 rpm fairly easily. In the ones at my usual gym, it takes the same or greater level of effort to sustain 150-160 rpm for 2 minutes at resistance 5. Both gyms have the newer EFX 546s, too, so I don't know what the deal is.

At any rate, it made the calorie numbers on the machine itself look awesome (over 400 by 30 minutes!), though of course I couldn't really trust them. The HRM calories look closer to the truth to me, and those are the ones I listed above.
