biking - dark blue bike 51:50 12.47 mi (4:09 / mi) +121ft 4:07 / mi
ahr:133 max:156 weight:140lbs
About 30, WNW 10 mph, more sun than clouds. Made it out, but not without a struggle. Went for a walk on the north side of Quabbin this morning, and even though the wind was much less than yesterday, and the temperature up a little, and the sun out, and I had on lots of layers, I was still struggling to stay warm.
So when the time for a ride came, mid-afternoon, warmest time of the day, it took more than the usual willpower, or mind games, or whatever, to get out the door. And, of course, it wasn't so bad.
It sure seemed to help that my mind was wandering a bit. A section in the middle went by very quickly. I used to do that all the time when running, take along something to listen to, trying not to pay attention to the actual running.
But I have really been resisting that on the bike because biking is just so dangerous, and even more so if you're not paying attention.
Stop paying attention in O' and you're liable to get lost. Stop paying attention on the bike and you're liable to get crunched.
