After two days of herculean efforts, I knew within the first five minutes of this morning’s commute that the ride would be a slower one. One of those things that happens after you push so hard on consecutive days. You can’t go full gas on each and every ride after…
Month: October 2020
Just a whisker slower than yesterday, but still a strong effort. Felt really good and the weather was amazing. Temperatures drop so fast once the sun gets low. Speaking of, the sunset was a gorgeous bright orange tonight. Clear, 89°F, Feels like 89°F, Humidity 7%, Wind 2mph from SE –…
Ever have one of those mornings when you think, “I’m going to crush my ride today?” That was me this morning. Really pushed myself this morning and crushed my previous best ride in. Moving time was over 3 (51:56 vs 54:04) minutes quicker with an average speed nearly a full…
Had to follow up this morning’s great effort with an equally great effort this evening. Mission accomplished! Bested my previous best time by a minute! Felt really strong especially along Pecos and Sandy Ridge and was lucky to get the PRs to go along with that feeling. Clear, 89°F, Feels…
Feeling great this morning. Really poured it on and beat my previous best by eight seconds. Not much but I’m not complaining. Great way to start the week. Clear, 62°F, Feels like 62°F, Humidity 21%, Wind 4mph from WSW – by Klimat.app
Nothing like a rip around River Mountains Loop Trail to bring your thoughts about your fitness back to Earth. Thought I was making some solid progress and getting faster and stronger, but be damned if I didn’t feel one once out of that improvement out there today. Had thought about…
So close! Just 35 seconds off my fastest time. Felt good and strong the entire ride home. Nailed a couple PRs and 2nd best efforts along Sandy Ridge and Anthem Pkwy, both of which I routinely struggle with. With my shortened work week, today is my last commute for this…
Another great morning to wrap up the work week. Was feeling really good again today. Think the legs are finally getting accustomed to pedaling every morning. The aches and pains are starting to subside which is making things even more enjoyable. Very bummed and disappointed in Strava and their lack…
A quick PSA. If you’ve noticed the “View Flybys” button missing, Strava recently made publishing of activities to Flybys opt-in versus opt-out. Strava also updated the privacy settings for Flybys to ‘No One’ for EVERYONE. If you want to continue to be seen via Flybys you need to revert this…
Ooooo almost dipping into the 50s! The temps continue to drop, and actually felt it a little more than usual today. Poor feet actually a little cold today arriving at work. May have to bust out the wool socks and shoe covers sooner rather than later. Other than the slightly…
