2011 Ride #16

View Larger Map

Oh my hell … I don’t think I’ve ever felt that bad on the bike without actually barfing or shitting my chamois … heart rate was through the roof from the get-go, and couldn’t breathe hardly at all. Honestly, I’m surprised that I managed to make it all the way to the [...]

Another birthday, another asthma attack. Sun felt good, cold wind did not. Hopefully it will be fairly dry tomorrow so I can give it another shot.

Contadouche is Contadoper?

Tour de France champion Alberto Contador has scheduled a news conference for Thursday to address reports of an apparent positive test for the bronchodilator clenbuterol.

Contador, a three-time winner of the French national tour, apparently tested positive for the drug in tests conducted on the final day of this year’s race and was notified of [...]

2010 Ride #37 (’twasn’t meant to be)

Full on asthma attack (and forgot the albuterol inhaler), feet feel like a knife is being stabbed though the arch, 173 bpm at 13 mph on flat ground, wicked head/cross winds … and dripping sweat before I even really started rolling.

This afternoon’s ride [...]

Must have gotten the timing of my asthma inhaler blasts right today … legs felt good; lungs felt good … only had to stop a couple of times to get my heart rate back down, but wasn’t gasping for breath during those brief respites, [...]

Air is thick and heavy and gross today … I could barely breathe as I walked out the front door of my apartment. Had to hit the inhaler hard a couple of times so I could breathe at all, but as usual the albuterol [...]

Legs said “Woohoo!”; lungs said “Fuck you, and the bike you rode in on!” … forgot to dope up this morning, and the asthma definitely kicked the shit out of me today, especially on the climb from Cotton Bottom up to the mouth of [...]

Emigration to Little Mountain summit. Legs felt good, lungs felt okay, but did have to hit the asthma inhaler a couple of times. The chip seal in Emigration Canyon is a little rough, but not nearly as bad as I’ve seen elsewhere.

It was [...]

Felt like complete shit today … think my lungs may have worked better in the 1990s when I was still a smoker … I had multiple people ask me if I was doing okay; one woman who was running even turned around and came [...]

Felt like complete shite today … isn’t it supposed to get easier when you ride more and get into better shape? My legs are feeling good, I’m shedding a little weight, and yet my lungs seem to be getting worse. Couldn’t breathe today to [...]
