Month: June 2013

Pulled off on a marathon distance during the evening. The weather was lovely summer evening-and the air right choice. Beautiful and calm.
It went really well, floated on flat terrain and brought me good speed up. Best outdoor workout ever according Garmin.

Satisfied!

Went out for a two hour session. Felt tired and probably should have eaten more than a slice of pie earlier today.
After an hour the rain started to fall. Went wet like a floor cloth and then my glasses went steamy.

I do miss the possibility to cycle indoors at the moment. But the handcycle I use indoors give me problems with my shoulders, so now I have to ride outdoors for a while.

A sunny national day on the roads around Södertälje. I went out for a 40 km ride together with Jessica. On the long hills in the beginning of the course, I ended up a bit behind the others at the same time as they got together into a peloton. Without any real downhills until later I never caught the peloton and it turned into a 30 km solo race. My shoulders began to hurt soon after the start, but figured it would go away after a while. It didn’t. With a continous load without any rest, it just got worse.

I’ve had this issue since I bought my other bike (the bike I have for indoor workouts). The crankset on that bike is 65mm too high, and it doesn’t seem to be a good idea to mix the training sessions between bikes with such different geometry. Every time I switch between the bikes, I feel some pain in my shoulders. I hope to find a welder who can fix the bike (it’s not adjustable). Now I’ll rest my shoulders and avoid indoor cycling until I’ve found a solution to this problem.

Wonderful summer evening. Warm, calm and beautiful with the nature in full greenery.
A trip to Årsta Havsbad together with K during a quiet Sunday evening. Balm for the soul.
