Encounter

Sunday, August 10, 2008

Having not moved for a few days (watching anime, k drama, olympics), I drew inspiration from watching the road race and went out to shake some legs loose. Round island, 5hrs and 30 mins of moderate riding. Speeds were slow at 32kmh on the flats, hr hovering around 128bpm. 3 powergels. 1.2L of water.

My new road position with near maximum seat aft limits my speed significantly. Stroke feels smoother, but not sure if it improves endurance.

And oh, I was kinda dazed at 4hr 30min: I stopped without unclipping my left foot in time, and fell over the kerb onto the grass by the road side. -_-'' Hope I didn't scratch my left chainstay when I dragged the bike (which was still attached to me) up the kerb -__-''
