View from 10,000ft
April 29th, 2007
Yesterday I rode up to the ski area… for the first time since last fall. What a beautiful climb! The smell of the pine trees, the flowing streams, blooming wildflowers… they all seem to make me several pounds lighter. I’ve been avoiding it this spring because of the strong headwinds, but yesterday the wind was lighter and out of the southeast so it gave me a little boost. The other good feature was that I felt great… plus I beat my best time from last fall by over 6 minutes (40:57 vs 47:17, 7,750ft-10,000ft, 6.5 miles). I guess I’m getting stronger, even with the random physical symptoms. Today I feel sort of sick again, so I took the day off. Need to rest for Gila anyway! We’ll be leaving in 2 days… unless I really get sick…
