2258.1; 20.9
I snuck in five miles on Saturday with John, going up to Andy's produce for a veggie drink and some fruit to bring home.
Today, I just never got comfortable; never got in any kind of groove like I usually do. It seemed like every inch was Work--even the downhills were uncomfortable.
I will attribute it to my "weekend condition," nyuk nyuk, having not ridden (seriously) since Friday.
Further, I started hittin a sugar low at about 10 miles and had to stop and eat (new macadamia/almond/cranberry/cherry/ginger mix is quite good--so probably bad for me). A mile later, still didn't feel right, so consumed this "hammer" gel I've kept in the pack for times like this. One or the other kicked in and I felt okay by the time I got home.
Nonetheless, I did the Blank Road hill, the quite steep Orchard Station Rd. hill, and the short but tough Hessell grind, all without stopping.
Got a chin-up bar today; It may not work in this house, with tops of doorways only about 6" from the ceilings. If not, I'll make a place in the garage for it. Need to diversify my exercise portfolio AND have something to do when it rains or is too hot or windy or whatever for biking.
