I thought I’d take advantage of 15 mph gusts & do some much-needed sprinting (not intervals yet; I’m in no shape for intervals) at our abandoned airport. I was by no means alone. The new collection of um less than attractive nor functional homes which borders on the airport & advertises itself as a Fitness Community regularly empties its denizens to run & bike & body-weight exercise at the airport. I’m always glad to see the place get some vigorous use.
Sprinting went well, but not as well as it used to go. I managed 19mph which is very fast for 16 teeth & held 18s & 17s without distress. I cut my laps tho down from 12 to 6; I’m just not in cycling shape. I was not passed save by a very strong cyclist I’ve never seen before riding a recumbent in the 20s. Such effortless grace – but it has gears so that’s a deal-breaker. 31 I passed tho & fought of some retributive overtaking.
As long as the weather holds (Sat & Sun will give us rain) I’d like to return to Wednesday & Sunday sprinting.
I’ll get the hang of it again.
