So, since the second week of January or so, as I have spoken of earlier, I have been riding hard on a particular stretch of my twice weekly, soon to become thrice, ride home. Yet a limit on my speed has continued to hold me down. Sprints have been tried, different nutrients have been applied pre-ride. It seems to be a purely physical limit applied to my body, for the moment. What amuses me is that I have achieved my top speed at times when I have been fresh but also on occasions where I have been sore, tired and damaged from an earlier crash. Yep, I said crash, it would appear that I have averaged one crash a month, so far, in fact. No one has ever called me graceful.
I guess this barrier would be called a plateau in common exercise parlance. It seems to be a peak point for all of the other stuff I am trying to conquer in my life at the moment. It will be bagged.
I am determined to leap this barrier like Superman on Brawndo. I WILL attain greater speed. As well as a one handed handstand. The question, JJ-Hopping-San, is can you hike 30 miles through the Desolation in one day? I hear Coach is going to be hosting an Adventure Camp. Time to play in my world!
About Me
- Renegade Wells
- At my core, I like to think I am a simple man. Yet the reality, as almost always, is different from my perception of it. Who I am is revealed by layers, but some truths penetrate every one and come shining through. Honor, Loyalty, Will. These facets of my own unique and special snowflake do not melt away with time, but remain resilient. With those internal pillars and the help of my true friends, I have kept my head above the raging waters of my life. That strain has shaped me in innumerable ways and as I continue to carve away the useless trauma and baggage that weighs me down, I look forward to helping others do the same.
