Rain on the way
There’s a big storm about to hit Northern California… we’re forecast to get 10-20 inches of rain here in the mountains. That’s more than most of California gets in a year. I did a long ride yesterday, then came home and cleaned the gutters to get ready for the storm. The ride completely sucked… for some reason I was terribly slow. I spent three hours noodling along with my heart rate around 110. I’ve been getting fitter over the years and able to go faster at a lower heart rate, but not that low. My HR hits 110 when I stand up. It was rather pathetic. Since I went out and back on Foothill, otherwise known at the Fred Expressway, I got passed by a lot of freds. Just rubbing in my suckitude. I took today off to rest.
Now I get to look forward to a week on the trainer, assuming we don’t lose power. Perhaps I should hook the trainer up to the generator. But if I am as weak as I was yesterday, I’d barely be able to light a night light.
