Post Tour Fitness Stats

From the Garmin Watch

Garmin Watch Biometrics
I wore a Garmin watch day & night for most of this 17 day tour except when it needed charging. I didn’t activate it specifically to measure ride stats. Just to monitor various physiological measurements. These are recorded on my phone and accessible via the Garmin Connect app.

The graphs below cover the time frame from a few days before the ride started, to a few days after it ended. There was only one real rest day on the ride. 5 April when there was a major rain event pass over.

Most of the stats seem fairly good except the Sleep records.
Most days I didn’t feel sleep deprived, but the Garmin seems to have decided I wasn’t sleeping well. A few nights this was because of noisy accommodation. Other nights probably due to the affects of intensive exercise.

There’s walking involved in cycle touring

I’m still not sure what a Body Battery is, but the Garmin watch measures it

Breaths in and out. Useful for cycle touring and life in general.

A typical ride day as measured by heart rate

This graph is interesting to me. Heart beat rate over the duration of the tour.

Apparently I’m still fitter than my calendar age. Says the Garmin watch.
