Ugly - Not sure what it was, the weather, air quality, old age, or a combination. I was hurtin for the last 10 miles. My legs started cramping up, a little trouble catching a good deep breath, and some mild tightness in my chest. I had to pull over and rest until the breathing got better, cramps never fully went away. I did drink plenty of water during the ride, I also drank two cups of coffee before the ride, think that was a mistake. |
dude that's still a good ride. just take a little more recovery time and this ride'll stand ya in good stead! you stressed your systems good which, of course after a good recovery, will make you stronger. great effort!!!! keep it up!!!
