Today I took advantage of a day off from my internship to head out for a mid-day bicycle ride.  What a pleasure!

It was about 26 degrees F in Connecticut but with proper layering I didn’t notice the cold or the wind at all.

What I did notice is how easily I could read my heart-rate with the new Timex Ironman Race Trainer Pro on my wrist!

With a great workout planned:

3 x 15 min in Zone 3

1.5-2 min recoveries

total 1 hr 15 mins on the bike

I was thrilled to be able to focus on my intervals and not struggle to catch a glimpse of my heart-rate.

The unique position of this watch on the wrist and large display allows a cyclist to keep their hand on the hood, aerobar or in the drop and still be able to see the screen!

It was truly Love at first Sight!
