Today it took me to the big white telephone in the bathroom.

Its been a very long time since a ride has been so hard that I've puked when I got home. The sad part is the stats dont match the RPE.

Just when you think you're getting strong the boys turn up the wick.

 

Ouch !!

I must remember this on Friday .... adding 50% to my previous longest Park Walk .... distance should be fine, but I need to keep a pretty decent pace to complete in time .... 

 

But this IS how we grow !!

I know you weren’t racing, but this next one is semi-related:

“The race always hurts.
Expect it to hurt.
You don’t train so it doesn’t hurt.
You train so you can tolerate it.”Anonymous

both quotes are very true

relating to the second one, you're not only training the body but the mind.

I know that at some stage this morning my mind decided that I'd had enough, the legs and lungs didnt take long to start screaming after that.

 

What today showed me was that I'm not yet ready to do that sub 3 947, but there is time still.

Not all rides are measured by how far you've ridden or even how long, sometimes it's just where you went!
