AM: 45 miles on the bike in 2:59

OK, I have a couple questions...

According to my Garmin, my three hours on the bike burned just over 1000 calories. Can that be right? That's what I burn in an hour of running on the treadmill. If it is correct, cycling is a really inefficient form of exercise.

Also, my average heart rate was 101 BPM which also seems really low. When I'm hiking (not running) up Grandeur Peak its 115 BPM on average.

Despite all this, I'm really tired right now and I feel like I worked out harder than the data suggests.
