I'm not sure why but I'm not gonna over analyze it. I suppose they will all be tough from here on in. I complicated today's workout by doing my tongue exercises, and I'm pretty sure that took a lot out of me. I especially found that pushing it all the the way into my right cheek (the one on my head) and then down as far as I could was the most stressful.
It was actually a pretty good day for a ride with not too much wind. It just seemed like a long trip. I did the same route as last week and although I felt pretty good until the 70 km turnaround my ass was quite sore. At about 90 kms I suddenly had a feeling that I can only describe as slumping. I seriously considered getting off and laying in the ditch for a while. I think what kept me going was the fear that I would not be able to restart once I quit. Sure enough I recovered and managed to maintain a decent pace home. I was actually 25 minutes faster than last week which is quite a lot even considering the difference in wind conditions.
One of the problems with this particular route is that it is quite flat. While that usually makes for fast times it also means that you can never really relax. No downhills to rest and no uphills to stand up. Like I said my ass was quite sore which results in shuffling around all the time and generally riding inefficiently.
I'm probably dreaming but my new bike is set up differently than my old one and I'm hoping that it helps with this problem. I am too stretched out right now which doesn't allow my arms to carry enough of my weight. If I do pull myself back in the aero bars now the pads are under my forearms instead of my elbows, and the result of this is that my muscles are supporting me instead of my skeleton. They say that fit is everything so I'm looking forward to getting some miles on my new machine. The first serious ride will be on Monday.
My post ride run was tough as well, but I managed to hang on for 5 kms which is absolutely sufficient. I walked the other 2.3 kms of the block and that felt really good as well.
And my social comment for today comes in the form of a question. If you have a religious belief that homosexuality is a sin how do you rationalize individuals born hermaphroditic? Who are they allowed to have sex with? Everyone? No one? Or maybe just themselves? For me that very question proves how ludicrous it is to believe that god is gonna get you for having sex with the wrong person. After all....who is responsible for the person born with 2 sets of genitals....the devil I suppose?
I'll have to ask one of them but maybe the "holier than thou's" believe that the hermaphrodite should have been aborted????? Put that in your pipe and smoke it!
(ride 140 kms, run 5 kms)
...and funny how today's quote sounds like it's from the bible...
"All the world old is queer save thee and me, and even thou art a little queer."---Robert Owen
