Acting Intelligent
Back on track, up at 5:30 and on the bike a little after six, feeling good. Did a 10-minute HIIT workout just before the bike ride. It got me warmed up nicely and ready to ride for an hour. Today’s ride with Bernie went well. I’d say there were 30 or 40 people in the…

Take it easy
Slept in again this morning. It’s becoming a bit of a habit. Need to go to bed earlier. The biggest hassle with an injury is that I have to slow down and let it heal. I like to push myself, and when I’m injured, it’s hard to slow down, but it’s something that I have…

Virtual doping
Back to Zwift riding with the Bernie Robo Pacer today; not gonna say it’s easy, but it’s more manageable than the Miguel Robo Pacer. I slept in a couple of hours this morning, and it felt great. Usually, I get up at 5:30 AM, but with this hand injury, I really need to let it…

Spin the pedals
I guess I felt rowdy this morning. I upped the pace to D.Miguel who rides at a 1.8 W per kilogram pace. I forgot that little bit at the beginning and wondered why I was working so hard just to try and keep up, but that explains it. There were 100 other riders with me…

Monday Notes
My current exercise plan doesn’t have much of a plan. The problem I’m running into is that most plans have too many interval workouts for what I can do now. So I’m kind of just making it up as I go. Combination of some strength workout in the legs with many zone two to zone…

Not on my bingo card
Sitting in the mud at mile 35 was not on my bingo card for the Telluride 50 mountain bike race. Yet here I was, holding onto my right hand, wondering if it was OK and trying to figure out how I would finish. Another rider I’d been riding with a few miles was nice enough…

Virtual Cycling Adventures: Exploring the World of Zwift from Your Living Room
In the scorching heat of July, beneath the towering peaks of Telluride, fate dealt me a cruel hand—or rather, finger. The Telluride 50 mountain bike race, a thrilling event I had eagerly anticipated, took an unexpected turn. A tumble on a rocky descent left me nursing a broken finger and a bruised ego. Returning to…

Perception: dim
I’m reading Meditations for the first time and it’s a good one for this time in my life. I took a substantial amount of philosophy classes at university. I was interested but my limited life experience meant a t was distant for me to comprehend. I understood the words but not necessarily the set and…
