3 Cups To Astoria Column To Smith Pt.

2 hrs. Nordic pole walking about 6.75 mi. according to Google Earth. Same walk as yesterday only extended east to complete the "Up The Hill" loop for more miles.

From the bridge in the distance, to where this photo is taken, along the ridge out in front here, and back to the bridge.



We took the heart rate monitor (HRM) -- 120 / 122 bpm on the flats (75%)

BPM
120 = 75.9%
122 = 77.2%
125 = 79%
130 = 82%
135 = 85%
140 = 88%
145 = 91%
150 = 94%
155 = 98%

Two numbers to work with are 120 / 135. 75% and 85%. Those are targets; everything else is statistical impedimenta.

We got 155 bpm briefly on the climb up the hill to the column. Recovered to about 135 bpm at the column parking, and moved to 125 bpm down the hill. I can gauge this effort w/o a monitor.

135 / 85% is easy to attain on most inclines.

We're working on 30 mi. this week. We have about 11.85 mi. and it's only Monday.

BooooooooooYa!
