Addiction 2022.3

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Sora level Louis Vuitton. Go well with a high-vis jersey in lieu of pleated shirt.
If the reception party is in a dark room with blacklights, you'll be the coolest guy in town!

I see that your priorities are in order.

BTW, I had to buy a new hot water carafe and it has a French press heat setting. 200° F.

I just don't like French press coffee anymore. I''m awaiting delivery on a Turkish/Italian stovetop unit, that says it can be used on my induction hotplate. Now that I'm back on robusta.

No time to brew coffee this morning. Fortunately, my favorite coffee shop was open.

Another 5.1 this morning! That's three days in a row with a 5-2-5 pattern, and today was better than Monday. I think wearing out my legs on the trainer ahead of time was preventing me from running well.

made the call of shame this morning and my wife said suck it up, then hung up on me. Had to really dig deep to make it home. A couple of times I thought about just letting it all end.


Im not sure why, but this mornings ride sucked. It started bad too. Alarm went off at 330 am. I got caffeinated, suited up and went to go and my head light was not on my bike. I had charged all my gear the previous day, everything was present but my head light. I spent one whole hour silently tearing my whole house apart trying to find it. Found it in my unborn sons room. Grabbed it and launched.

heart rate off the gate was high, I was keeping a decent pace but not pushing it. Was def in zone 2 most of the time but my heart rate was in the 160s. Mile 40 I started to feel normal but my massive quads developed a massive cramp. Never have I had cramping like this and it was in both legs. I know I def was dehydrated, but over all it was depressing.

Called the wife at the end of the metric. Todays goal was a century but the big man up stairs must have had other plans.

Sounds like your coach may be working for the enemy.

Why is it cycling folk wisdom that old people need to limit their HR to some arbitrary number or they'll drop dead?
