BIKE 20 miles in 80-90 minutes
I met with BE for a cold ride, it rained overnight but as per forecast cleared out by ride time. We rode at 630 to give the sun more time, but the clouds obscured any light. It was cold, maybe less cold than last Friday, but cold enough that BE stopped at two intervals. Of course, I couldn't stop.
My hands and toes were cold, my forearms and face a bit, but otherwise I managed. Glad I did it!
The ride felt good, but I'm now hyper-vigilant about injury. The sit bones that occasionally hurt (but not now and not during the ride) make contact with the seat? I'm pretty sure this started before the new ISM seats were installed? And what can I do so the knees don't feel so strained when I stand on the pedals?
To my surprise I did fine on the ride without headphones. Usually I need the distraction to keep the voice between my ears subdued.
I tried to schedule a swim for 9am or 6pm, but no matter how fast I try to be I miss the signup. I'm on the wait list, today and again tomorrow, but don't have high expectations.
Medical appointment later, will ETA. Maybe. Sick of this medical shit.
