Yep, still out of shape
After nearly a month of looking, I FINALLY found my bike shoes? Where were they? Of course, they were in a box that I thought I knew for sure what was in it. I was right about what was in it, but turns out there was a pair of shoes, too.
Anyway, to celebrate the joy of my shoes, I decided to take out my road bike for her first ride since … sometime last summer? Turns out that it was great. Of course, I’m still quite out of shape and getting used to the altitude (my house is at 5560ft and I rode up to 6140ft today). But I got in a solid 15 mile ride in just over an hour. Nowhere near my former speed, but man it felt good to actually ride. Unfortunately, my heart complained the whole way. My average HR was 175 for the entire ride, but that really entailed about 185-190 on the first half (uphill) and 165ish coasting back home. Anyway, now that have my shoes, hopefully I can do this more often.
