The anti-parasitic did its job. I'm bursting with energy this morning, for the first time since (likely) before I contracted the virus. I'll give it another day before calling it all good though. The virus and its aftermath do odd things. They give you bad hours followed immediately by good ones, during, and good and bad days in the aftermath. I will take the given opportunity to ride a bike today.

I don't think the wind is nearly as bad on Baldy. I have done Latigo when it's so windy you can yell at your riding friends and they can't hear you.
The San Gabriel mountains are more shielded, at least on that side. It's why we ride from Pasadena to the east when it's windy. It was so nice there yesterday but when I got home it was howling. It's howling now.

No ride for me today. Wish I could.

I took a detour from the freeway on the way to work this morning, and passed by Crystal Springs Lake, which was glassy smooth. I wish it had been so yesterday morning, but instead there was a Southerly headwind for 8 miles.

That bike got left in the alley decades ago. So many problems with that thing. The internal seat post clamp was not strong enough. The rear wheel had to be warrantied. Then the front one started breaking spoke. The real killer was when I was riding it home up a long climb after I had picked it up from the Pittsburgh Amtrak station. I kept hearing little tings periodically. Couldn't figure out what was going on, but the drivetrain was acting wonky. Came to discover that the noise I was hearing were bearings falling out the freewheel. IIRC, it came with SunTour GPX group. This all happened in less than a year of ownership.

After dropping out of two structured workouts last week, I just went back and looked at one of them and compared it to when I'd successfully completed that workout back in November. Same power profile, but my HR last week was WAY higher! The workout involves a ramp section from 130w up to 235, followed by 3 minutes at 150 or so, then 295 w for 2 minutes, 245 for 1 minute, 295 for 1 minute, and 245 for 2 minutes before a 5 minute recovery.
In November, I finished the Ramp section with my HR at 127, then it dropped back to 111 during the 3 minute recovery, and then by the end of the 2 minutes at 295 it was up to 147.
Last week, I finished the Ramp at 148, only dropped back to 135 during the 3 minute recovery, and then by the end of 2 min at 295, I'd hit 163!
No wonder I felt unable to do the workout! Not sure what that was all about. Was I ill and didn't notice?

Got the email today that I’m off the waitlist and in Rasputitsa. I think 4 of us are going up and we found a place in Burke VT to stay. Bonus is that it’s only 40 minutes from Hill Farmstead brewery.
I have a feeling it’s going to be exceptionally muddy, I hope it is.

We finally got a 54° day but it was 16 mph winds gusting to 20 out on the open prairie. Still, my wife had me take her bike off of the Kickr and we headed out. She promptly hurt me. I’ve decided to break her Kickr next winter.
