So one of the upper Exercise Science students approached me and asked if I would act as the subject for his class presenataion. He was describing and running a Charmichael test. I said sure. I had to follow a 15 minute warm up protocol, then ride a 3 mile time trial.
For the sake of testing, he hooked me up to the metabolic cart for data. (it wasnt necessary) So I came away from the test with some data. Its not bad right now seeing as I am 5'6", 136 lbs and its winter and I havent ridden in a while. Here is the data:
3 miles
7 min 37 sec
Avg Speed - 23.6 mph
Peak Speed - 27.0 mph
Avg HR - 184
Peak HR - 193
Avg Power - 281 W
Peak Power - 451 W
VO2 Peak - 65/kg ml/min
According to that data, my power to weight ratio at this moment is 4.55 W/kg

Looking solid, especially for the off season. I have to say, however, that I was a bit disappointed by your lack of wacky post-surgery blogging. You really missed out on a Hunter S. Thompson opportunity.
Well thats becasue the medicine didnt do anything to me. It eliminated pain and reduced swelling, but it didnt make me crazy, high or dillusional. So i opted out. Sorry. haha
What this on the bike in class?
