Cycling along the triangle of cannals between MolZilvermeer-Kwaadmechelen-Herentals, starting in Mol-Millegem. Don't know how much km it is, but the triangle must be around 68km i guess. Saw Wiet kayaking on the 'Kempische Kanaal'.
Wrote me in for a scientific research from a collegue of me. Had to do a reference conditiontest on a bike and a week later another test to determine whether this second test is a reliable test to estimate the condition of people. So went in a hurry immediately after work to Virga Jesse hospital in Hasselt. No time was provided for the participants to warm-up or cool-down. Everything must progess rapidly. It was in a little chamber on an old fitness-bike. Had to breath constantly in this mask to measure my VO2/VCO2, my bloodpressures were measured every minutes and my heart was monitored by an EKG. The aim was to cycle to the maximum: cycling at rotation of 70/min and every min the resistance increased. For me as a sportive guy she gave me the hardest program, wich means that the resistance would increase significantly every min. Aim is that every participant cycles no longer than 20min.

I started this test with tired legs and as a runner this test would not be completely reliable for my VO2max, RER, overslagpols, HFmax....
After good 14min i couldn't keep the ritm and had to stop. Too fast but didn't have the power to follow the climbing intensity.
Data will follow later on: but i had a HFmax of 186 (nl i can get 190) and at the end the resistance was 380watt i think. Couldn't follow Cancellara eather i think.

Running (Terril-Beringen) 1:08:50 [3] 11.6 km (5:56 / km) +350m5:09 / km ahr:146 max:190
Before going back to Mol for work i stopped in Beringen for a terril-training. 3 tours around the hill and a little tour in forest nearby for warming-up and cooling down.
4 climbs from down to the top: HFmax at the top (189,189,190,185). Legs blocked the last climb. There was a lot of wind, but also a little sunshine.
