I biked 23.25 miles today;  20 miles was a ride that included two hills I was afraid of (I gave myself permission before I left the house to walk the bike up both hills... I realized about a mile after the first one that I had made it to the top and beyond without noticing).  I got back to my house and checked the MapMyWalk app and it said I was at 20 miles, almost exactly, but instead of stopping I biked around my neighborhood a bit more (I have a semi-standard "add some miles to my ride if I still want to bike a bit more" addition).

On a related note, I find I'm out of Gatorade (I use the Zero stuff, don't worry) before I get home.  How big do water bottles for biking get?  I can carry a ton of water bottles when I play golf, and it's super easy to bring water and protein shakes into my gym aka garage, but neither set is the type that I think would work with a bike.

Is it really a garage if there aren't dents and cracks in the wall?

Doesn't that make it difficult to ride with clothes hanging on it ?

Yeah, that's a good point.  It's probably time to carry a refill with me, and at this point, it's going to become a backpack instead of the fanny pack I wear (containing phone, ID/CC, spare facial covering, sometimes a Clif bar) when biking.

Returned to training after the club championship.  I know some Tour players train on the day of a round, but (a) I'm not that advanced and (b) it was going to be a bit of a journey from home to the course, and I had to already leave my house sufficiently early many mornings.

Anyway, today was 3x7x125 on both squats and bench press.  Hopefully getting 3x8 next time I do each and am ready to move up to 130 or 135 the time after!

So this morning I did an endurance ride of just over 10 miles and thought I was really hauling ass. Turns out, like 3000 people did better than me. I have to figure out the standings part of this I-fit bike. I guess I should read the manual. 🤔

Suggestion. : instead of measuring yourself against others who did better

, be glad you are involved in a program of fitness. Maybe 3000 people did better than you, but millions are doing nothing at all.

23.5 mile road cycling, although a good bit of it on bike paths not actual roads.

Yes.  The app I use to track my distance, UA's "Map my Walk" has "road cycling" as the option to select when doing this (versus, say, walking, which I also track).  

Admittedly, part of those 23.5 miles were a wrong turn I had to reverse, maybe half a mile total, and maybe the last mile was just riding around my neighborhood when I got back instead of pulling in and going right to my garage and stopping.

Don't sell yourself short . You may have taken that wrong tern unconsciously in order to fulfill that extra effort you were looking for.

You are absolutely right, but I can't help being a competitor. I was trying to make the top 1000. I always set a goal.  As a matter of fact (and I know this is off topic), I recently purchased a copy of "The Golfing Machine" and I am determined to read it and understand it.

There is nothing wrong with setting the bar high, just do not set it so high that is not fun.

Workout sets today were 3x6x80 press and 1x6x205 deadlift.

I also, in warm-up, did 1x20xbar (45 lbs) squats;  I hadn't planned to do squats at all today, but I wanted to remind my legs that, despite their being slightly sore from yesterday's bike ride (I assume that's the cause), that a little soreness doesn't earn them the day off.  I hope they don't get the wrong message from this.  I used to avoid working out any sore part, but I later came to believe that more mild workouts were better than none for the sore part.

2x8x125 and then 2x5x125 on the bench.  My goal was 3x8x125.  I exhausted in the third attempt, so I rested a few minutes and did the fourth so I'd at least have done 24+ bench presses today, but then I didn't do the second plan set (squats).  I'll go for a bike ride later today to make up for the leg exercise.  Debating if next time I bench will be 125 lbs or if I move up a bit, probably the latter.

Update:  I took a 13 mile bike ride this evening;  it would have been longer but I started late and a trail I like closes at sundown.

      If you own a Stack radar (for now, it's limited to Stack radar only), and want to work on your wedge game… it turns out that wedge distances are 99% correlated to ball speed. So, with a small radar, you can practice your wedge game easily in a gamified way.

      PXG Secret Weapon — Mini Driver

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      Quick update. So, I got the PXG Secret Weapon and I have to say I like it... mostly. (see below) I spent some time with it on the range and I even gathered some data in doors. I'm not going to post data yet, as my swing is still a bit of a work in progress and I'd like to gather some more data after I settle down a little bit more. But here's my review.  First as a driver replacement. ... IMO it is not a replacement, it's clearly more of a supplement... for me anyway. Not long enough to really replace the driver. For me it's about 20 yards short of my driver. It is longer than my 30-wood off the tee. (15 yards-ish) I will say it is easier to hit off the tee than my 3-wood. I get some of my best shots teeing it low, but I also get some of my worst. If I tee it about a full inch off the ground I get very consistent shots. Super repeatable. Amazingly repeatable even with my messy swing. Off the tee, I find it draw biased just a bit. You can tinker with the set up if that isn't your personal cup of tea.  As a 3-wood replacement. For me it's about perfect. It's longer than my 3-wood off the deck (my data showed 10 yards longer) and it has a gentle fade to it, which I love. You do need a clean lie, but I never hit my 3-wood off anything but a clean lie anyway. I found it interesting that I hit a gentle fade off the deck and a slight draw off a tee. I'm sure that's not uncommon. Again, you can tinker with the set up to optimize that if you wanted to... I don't want to.  It's clearly a lot longer than my 3-wood off the tee. Easier to hit off the tee than my 3 wood, and off the deck it's also longer. So, it's a no-brainer 3-wood replacement for me. I will say that over the years I've learned to use my 3-wood for this low-flying-100-yard-punch-out-from-under-a-tree shot.  I'll have to see if the Secret Weapon can handle that duty. But it's going in the bag to replace the 3-wood.  I also turned my 5-wood down from 19 degrees to 17 degrees. ... Incidentally my 3-wood had been 16 degrees. I used to always hit my 5 wood and my hybrid about the same distance. This adjustment helps my gapping a bit at the top of the bag. I can clearly hit my 5-wood farther than my hybrid now.  Overall on the PXG Secret Weapon. The good: It's clearly longer and easier to hit off the tee than my 3-wood. It's a bit longer off the deck than my 3-wood.  It's super forgiving... surprisingly so.  It's uber adjustable. ... Although I do suggest getting fit for it. That will save you having to (or wanting to) buy a weight kit just to try out the infinite number of set ups. The headcover is super cool.  The maybe not so good: Shots out of the middle sound great. Shots off the heal sound great. Shots off the toe sound ... what's the work... clangy? It's very forgiving off the toe and the heal. The flight and the distance are incredibly consistent. But the sound off the toe isn't great.  For me I tend to draw it off the tee and fade it off the deck. You can set it up to be biased either way, but in my hands I think if I set up a draw off the deck, that might induce a duck hook off the tee. ... In fairness that could also be where my swing is at right now.  It's pretty spendy. ... If I really stop and think about it, I paid $450 for a new 3-wood. Granted it's a better performing 3-wood. But for me it's really a 3-wood replacement.
