Oh, sorry, we have sprawled across from this thread dedicated to the event!Ok for the clueless among us what is SOM?
I did a 35 km ride yesterday with about 500 m of moderate climbing. I was okay when keeping my effort level down, but as soon as I tried a bit harder, my lungs felt like somebody had sandpapered their linings. I immediately backed off!
I'll keep plugging away, but there's an awful long way to go to get back to 100 km with 2,500 m of steep hills!
I'm agreeing with you!Colin no offence but I don't think you should even be considering this kind of ride yet, you should take it easy until your body is ready.
I'm agreeing with you!
I would like to point out though, that ...Good I don't want to have to send you to the naughty step
Just gearing up to test my constitution with yesterday's defrosted chicken. Already walked the dog, just in case.
I would like to point out though, that ...
I have decided that I am not a great fan of blacking out at the side of the road, with the sky apparently spinning round above me. I am also not a fan of tasting blood coming from my lungs. I have therefore decided ... to be sensible!
- I won't know how ready my body is unless I ask it the question!
- The doctors want me to get plenty of exercise, subject to listening to my body when it shouts Nooooooooooooooooooo!
(It isn't likely, and I am not going to bust a gut trying to make it happen, but if my body does tell me that it is ready for this year's SoM, then I would have a go, but even in that situation, I would be prepared to get down off the hills and come back on the easy valley roads if necessary.)
I need a strong and a sit down. "Why?" I can hear you asking.
I have just seen Wocky's knees.
Jo I just did a job for a customer and look what he gave me as payment
Still has the plastic on the screen.
