Yesterday, in addition to being Valentine's Day (known by the holy rider number 46, for the doctor friends) was the anniversary of the death of one of the greatest cyclists of all time. You can waste a lot of words and thoughts on doping and sport of professional cycling, especially in light of recent "business" (an all Riccò) ... cmq fact remains, I think, that what he has done to our mountains, in the tour, and throughout his career has been something special! When he got up on the pedals after km of mountain, was over .. there was more to anyone! I leave here in his honor one of the most beautiful songs dedicated to him.
Saturday I also went out cycling with his friend Andrea for my first real long. Intentions initials were going about 80/85 km. We start at 7.30 am enveloped in fog, I still eat the tart ... Yeah technical problems (process) make me those minutes of delay, Fantozzi docet, send all plans to roll .. and do not like to wait for the people. (Needless to say Andrea was already at the door in the saddle)
Let's start with a good rhythm, then keep that for almost all the way around, between 27/30 km / h.
It begins with the first glimpse of the sun beyond the cloud that we're all wet ... both me and the bike start to drip and I just do not coat the lawn to try to dry out a little! We try
a detour to the proposal by Andrea d'Adda Cavenago to fetch up in some beyond the ones already on the classic tour. Obviously you habit of the mountain that you can not turn up their nose, I know, but for us, "plain" even a fly-expletive is some tearing. The bad luck that wants to work on the course the road was closed, and then turn around, and we continue to spiangere on the pedals.
Towards the 55th km beginning to experience a bit tired, I feel my legs a little hard and my forearms hurt. Andrea gives me the proper change, within in its wake, and I can keep the 30 for another ten miles. Then leave the main roads, the pace slowed down a little and try to loosen the muscles a little listening to the advice of the most experienced triathlete. In fact, the situation better, although I do not feel to take a further detour to stretch 10km. Then we close our broken and 74km in 2h50min.
Excellent training, very pleased, just as the ride for almost its entire length just hits. I have to train to stay in the saddle for so long. Slowly we get to be around 100km.
Unfortunately I messed up at work and I find it hard to read and blogging.
still continue training both in the pool than on the tapir. Knees seem to get better and the bike seems to be giving a big hand in this recovery.
Latest news ... I received the card Fidal. Now I'm an athlete's Virtus cream.
Stay tuned!
