Lordy, all that effort and distance and all you got was a suffer score of 111?

What is the suffer score thing? Is there something comparable on the Garmin?

Your zones are miscalibrated.

Ride as hard as you can for 30 minutes. Your average heart rate over the last 20 minutes is approximately your lactate threshold, with Friel's Z4 94-99% of that, Z3 90-93%, Z2 81-89%.
