View Larger Map Absolutely perfect weather today … upper 70s, maybe low 80s … i.e. not very hot and a nice breeze at my back while climbing Emigration, but not strong enough to be struggling against a headwind on the descent. I’ve had better days up that climb, but I’ve had a lot more worse [...] View Larger Map Everything hurt from the get-go today … I probably shouldn’t have kept climbing Emigration, turned around, and done something easier, but masochistic tendencies took over today, and I forced myself to the first switchback at Pinecrest, and then suffered the head-winds back down the canyon and home. Days like today make me [...] View Larger Map I am completely blown. I tried to take it easy, since the plan was to combine my two most common routes, but even taking it easy today was friggin’ hard. I must have looked it, too, since on a few occasions when I was resting in the shade trying to cool off, [...] View Larger Map Hot. Tired. Feels good. Maybe I’ll try it again tomorrow.

Then, in honor of the UCI’s decision to skip one of the Giro [...] View Larger Map Up Emigration Canyon, down Parley’s Canyon on I-80. Remembered why I don’t do the down Parley’s part more often. It’s not because of the road conditions or traffic on the freeway, it’s the up-canyon winds. Although it is a royal pain in the ass to get back off the freeway, that’s nothing [...] View Larger Map Struggled my way up Emigration Canyon today … didn’t have the legs or lungs to make it to Little Mountain Summit, but did make it to the Pinecrest turn-off at the first switchback. I had to mentally break the climb down into segments to keep myself from bailing early and just turning [...] View Larger Map More than doubled my total mileage for the year (thus far) today, and first attempt at Emigration Canyon for the season … and boy, do I suck. I had a number of people stop to ask if I was okay, or if I needed anything as I was gasping for air and [...] View Ascent activity on 01-Aug-10 at 10:16AM in a larger map Another Emigration – Pinecrest turnoff and back. Legs felt good. Couldn’t breathe. It’s hot and humid out. Coconut water I’m drinking now is mighty refreshing; now, if I could just stop sweating. |
