Anyway, glad to hear the training is progressing. You're training in the hottest, humidest conditions which thankfully you won't have to bear in October for the Ride. I'd say you're doing pretty good!
Thanks for keeping us informed! I don't know if I'm the only one living vicariously through your experience or not, but it's cool! |
It has occurred to me, as I work out the house buying/selling/moving logistics, that I am training in the hottest, humidist part of the year... and i am becoming acclimatized (since I also work outside)...thats great, and all, that I can handle the heat now... but when its mid-january in Boston, and I am working outside all day in 10 degree weather (or minus 10... whatever) and its all snowy and icy out, I am not going to be able to handle it very well. I am going to freeze to death
oh well, just something else to over come! when i think of all the yummy food to keep me warm up there, and the beauty of the snow... its worth it.
we had been trying to work something out so we could move north, but we did not expect it so soon. just last week, we were told we weren't moving until at least next spring... but we should be there in time to enjoy the last few somewhat warm days of fall
dunno that i'll be able to ride up there in the cold though... which is too bad, because after all this training, i'll be in really good shape for it, and damn, do i miss my country roads up there.
