It might be Good to be King, but it's also nice not to be last![]() It's one of those things best not to think about; it just works out somehow. Your body gets into the routine and does what it's used to. Heading home from work is different; in general I'm trying to avoid riding so hard that I'd need to take a shower before dinner, so again, it's what your body is used to. This morning it was Kevin, Kevin & Karen on the through-the-park Thursday version. Surprisingly, I felt much stronger than expected, with my legs, finally, feeling like they wanted to climb. The lungs still sucked (or didn't suck air, I should say), so I was able to climb pretty hard, limited only by the length of time it would take before my breathing routine fell apart. That lasted pretty much the entire ride, but most importantly, it got me to the top of Kings ahead of the other three, something that hasn't happened in a while. After a long series of rides where it feels like you're just going through the motions, it's really nice to have a strong day. Strong, of course, is relative, but it brings with it hope for the future. |
