Hump Day=Hill Repeat Day

Well, today brought another hill repeat day (my second) upon me. My plan was to repeat exactly what I did the last time I did repeats up Flagpole Hill and that’s what I did. I did manage to bring my sunglasses and computer this time and didn’t perform a 0 mph crash while trying to take off from a stop sign.

My first couple times up the hill went pretty good. Got passed by some dude going up it like a gazelle but that’s OK. Some day. In fact, I saw several people doing the hill today and a couple of runners. Even saw three ladies on horses on my recovery section.

The fourth and fifth trips up the hill were excruciating. I had wanted to add one trip up from last time but six was out of the question. I think my ride yesterday took a little too much out of me. It took every gear I had to make it up those last two times.

On a positive note, no animals were harmed in today’s ride.

Be careful, you might get into better shape.

Funny how that works isn't it.

Did you reach your max heart rate?

I have no idea. I don't have a HR monitor. I will say that at the group training ride I did on Monday that I was the only person that didn't.

I applaud you for sparing the local fauna.

Sounds like you’ve been getting in a good number of rides lately. Wish I could say the same here, but the weather has sucked for about 6 days (grr!).

Thanks. I got in a few rides before my wife's surgery but had planned all along to literally throw down the gauntlet upon my return which is what I've tried to do so far.

I'm tracking my food intake while seriously watching what I'm eating and trying to ride as much as possible. I'm planning on taking today off since I've ridden three straight days but I have to admit I feel pretty good this morning. If I feel good later I may try to get a ride in but it's supposed to get really windy here in Dallas today. We'll see.
