Fitness 2015

Found thread on top of page 4. 

Blew some cobwebs out of this system today, popped out and did 64km in the late afternoon, road and off-road, some of which was rather muddy, plus 28mm tyres in all the sand on the seafront made for some interesting handling.

Tomorrow I need to get out in the early evening and do a fair chunk or at least a fast/furious 15 miles, just to see how much today has affected me and how low my fitness as got over winter.

My new bike has 4 inch tyres, you should try that. Quite fun.

I can imagine they would, but must weigh a Kilo each? 

[Liep]

1650g.

They don't feel heavy though, unless they're on asphalt.

I went through some still warm, slightly wet tarmac today, luckily the sandy promenade was next on the route.

Went out today in sunny 5 degrees, the trail was wrecked though after 3-4 days of constant rain. Didn't matter much with my new tyres and we just ploughed through it all. Much fun, until I had an encounter with a slippery log hidden under some smaller pine branches.

Got me some pretty red markings on the left leg now.

Sounds like excellent fun, save for the slight mishap.

Just been looking at new bike reviews.

Had a physical yesterday morning.

Vitals:

blood pressure 110/64
pulse 77
SpO2 97%

I appear to be shrinking though as she measured my height and insisted it was 5' 11".

Was the room cold?

[Caliga]

Forgot to mention she also measured that and wondered aloud "Is this a human or an elephant?"

So wrinkly?

In a small victory for myself, today I was able to complete my first set of free squats without falling on my arse.

And excellent use of arse.

I just did 35 minutes on the treadmill at 3.5 mph and 4.0 incline (though I gradually bumped the incline down as I went).
