Maybe it was the change from extreme-heat & low humidity to cool & drizzly that caught my body off-guard. Or maybe it was just one of those things, my body rebelling a bit, not wanting to always be pushed. Whatever it was, I just could not get my heart rate about 152 or so climbing Kings, a good 10+ lower than normal, and you just can't go very fast at that low a heart rate. Watching everyone ride away on West Old LaHonda. This was not my day. Good crew this morning; Kevin (pilot), Karl, Eric, Joe, JR & Marcus. Not that I spent much time with anyone on the way up! But once on top it wasn't so bad, and the wet pavement didn't seem too slippery. Hard to believe that just a week ago we were having to make sure people didn't run out of water mid-ride! Hopefully Thursday I'll be back on my game. The last Thursday without the other Kevin (my son) who will be cleared to ride after a minor procedure to remove a stent on Thursday morning. For a very brief time, I'll likely be faster than him up the hill. Likely a very brief time! --------------------------------------------------- Images: http://www.chainreactionblogs.com/diary/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/receding_wolh.jpg --------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- Post date: 2014-05-21 00:04:41 Post date GMT: 2014-05-21 07:04:41 Post modified date: 2014-05-21 00:04:41 Post modified date GMT: 2014-05-21 07:04:41 ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Export of Post and Page as text file has been powered by [ Universal Post Manager ] plugin from www.gconverters.com
