A bit of a mixture. I really wanted to swim, but the pool at LA Fitness looked too full, so I did 10 minutes rowing (111 kCals), followed by 20 minutes of cycling (9km). I finished off with 10 lengths of the 15M pool as fast as I could go.
I measured my HR on the bike at 100 watts, and it was almost exactly 100 bpm. I know this means something, but can't remember where I read it now.

100w is your power.
As a reference point you need to be producing about 280-300W to do a 25mile timetrial in about 1 hour.
Yes, interesting, that's a bit high.
But this measurement is specifically about heart rate. I think I need to do this same test again over the months training, to see if my HR goes up or down.
yes - if you are getting fitter then you should be able to work at 100w and your HR will be lower, if you are less fit your HR will be higher. The only caveat to this is that your HR can vary due to other reasons eg heat, tiredness, etc..
