I know also that if I put the same amount of time/effort I do cycling into running I’d be far more competitive in that sport.
It’s hard for me to push myself when I am solo all the time, it’s pitch black where I ride so intervals and sprints are out of the question, some areas are straight creepy. Keep expecting to hear that I have a pretty mouth followed by banjos. Lack of cars is nice, but if I have a mechanical I would be Fd. I am usually still asleep the first 10 miles or so. I would say the past month it’s gone from, I want to ride to I have to ride which takes the pleasure from it. I’m scared if I stop I won’t start back up. I am a man of routine and structure and discipline (except for ice cream).
