2010 Ride #35

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 [...]

Thought about taking it easy today … and I guess I did, since I only did 25 miles instead of matching yesterday’s 38, but I still got in a little under 1500 feet of climbing. Up Emigration to just past the Sun & Moon [...]

20th East to Sunnyside to Emigration to the summit of Little Mountain, then Wasatch to the mouth of Big Cottonwood Canyon, dropped the Old Mill, then Holladay Blvd home. 38.15 miles (longest of the season thus far), 2537 feet of climbing (most vertical of [...]

Emigration to the summit of Little Mountain today. 30-miles; lungs felt really good, surprisingly. Still had to stop a couple times to catch my breath and get my heart rate back down, but not nearly as often as I normally have to, and no [...]

Marginally better than yesterday; sinuses not acting up as much, but heart rate was still far higher than I would have like to see. But, I just have to keep telling myself that any miles are better than no miles, and any day on [...]

Well that pretty much sucked ass. Legs felt great. Everything else felt like shit. Heart rate skyrocketed, averaging 160. Average speed was just a hair over 14 mph, and this was mostly flat/false-flate riding. It wasn’t a struggle to turn my legs over, but [...]

2009 Ride #31

Not a fan of the new Garmin Connect over Motionbased.com; on Motionbased, there was a link so that I could view a larger version of a ride map on Google maps, but this feature is not available in Garmin Connect, and I can’t figure out how to export the route information into another format that [...]

Slightly abbreviated Wasatch Loop for me today … it’s hot out there! Lungs felt good until climbing up out of Parley’s on the bike path. Even managed to keep my heart rate below 160 until Sunnyside just before the zoo; which for me is great.

Really wish I had the cash to [...]

Lungs felt like crap, had an asthma attack, and when your HR is pushing 175 on flat ground, it’s time to call it a day. Will try again tomorrow.
