‘Celebrate good times, come on!’… What are we celebrating? Well one of my fitness goals for the year is now in the books. With a brisk early morning ride on the Hill I crossed the 250KM mark for 2018 and put a big checkmark in my book! How is your fitness checklist looking?
I’ll try to avoid going into all the gory details of the ride, but I will talk a little about the data. C’mon, you know how I love data. When I set out I wasn’t sure how far I was going, but I covered 33.35KMs in 1h2653s. It was a very fresh morning and I took it nice and easy to start. The route I ended up on had lots of hills and I ended up climbing over 257m of elevation. I even managed breaking the speed limit by a bit coming down the Bayview Hill.
The hill (especially the first one) proved to be a lot and I was really trying to push as hard as I could. I felt that familiar ‘pinch’ in my left knee when I was putting load to climb and it was uncomfortable. Not CRAZY, but noticeable and very unwelcome. Getting passed by a guy on a mountain bike would also classify as a challenge, but he was damn quick.
Just because the goal of 250KM has been met, it doesn’t mean that I’m going to stop. When you reach the end it, push just a little bit further and see what you can achieve. I still have a Running Goal for 2018 (250KM as well), but it’s going to take a lot more to get there… 174KM still to go…
Now I said these posts would be coming out of order, but they should straighten out soon. I have an announcement coming soon that is very exciting… Stay tuned!
