![short, steep climb today.
man, my legs were burning. gotta start practicing more climbs, as much as they hate me.
RIGHT as I reached the top [I had to stop halfway, HR was 175 and legs were screaming]my HR reached 180, a new max for me! when my HR reaches a max, my body starts to shake and shuts down, I felt it creeping up to me. even though it was a short climb, it was a higher percentage, 10-12% wasnt uncommon on it.
great day overall!](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4aqfyU6Un1qawvueo1_1280.png)

tonight!
no dumbasses allowed,
i.e. drunks, people running red lights/stop signs, litterers, cutting across intersections wildly…etc
FUCK YEAH!!!
I finally got the crown for this segment, I’ve been trying for a couple of times now…yeahhhhh boiiiii
does anyone else experience sore throat during and after cycling?
specifically during & after a hard effort.
I dont know if it’s the pollen outside or my heavy breathing?
biked my first 50 miles today!
holy cow, feels SO GOOD, and I didnt feel nearly as tired as I thought I wouldve by the end.
such a wonderful day today.
let me add how awesome it is to add proper carbs the night before, morning of a bike ride.
had a full pizza last night, and a bagel with additions this morning and I rocked the road.
YES.
![today was so perfect.
the weather was great!
as you all might or might not know, I was off the bike since feb 2, and just got back out there yesterday. Since then I had been zeroing in on my nutrition, and upping my intake. Now that I had been doing that, I feel like a BEAST on the bike. what a difference it makes to eat like an athlete, not a ballerina.
I had to bike in random neighborhoods near home to catch up to 30 miles, that was my goal today.
sights: lots of birds, some hovering in mid air attempting to move forward but just stayed in one place. very little people out, thank goodness. moreso bikers. a beautiful pheasant bird! such a random place it was at too right near the bay shore.
& a black bird with red accents, so pretty.
feeling: amazing, not tired at all. LOTS of freaking head wind, holy cow. I forgot how much I dislike it.
smells: musty cologne from men as I biked by, wonderful perfume from a woman I rode by, liquorice in the middle of nowhere, dirty sandy smell
taste: my snot drooling down, chocolate chunk luna bar, apple cinnamon hammer gel [ack! so sweet]

I saw someone who had a weather proof sticker of their name and nationality flag on their bike, where can I get one made too?
