For real? Or is this a goof on me?

I had a mini puke on a run this month.

Anyway good you are pushing it if true.

I rode 15 miles yesterday, but unfortunately didn't puke.

Ha, nah, I'm being true. It's a dirt trail up a mountain with a couple especially steep spots. Just pushed myself a little too hard and did have to vomit.

What's amazing is that I vomited in the exact same spot last summer. I leaned my bike against the same tree, I sat on the same rock, I vomited in the exact same spot.

The only difference is that last year my vomit was the color of blueberries and yesterday it was the color of turmeric

I’d noticed a tandem bike crossing the iced over lake this past winter. Just met the folks who ride it, they recommended studded bike tires out of Finland, said they work great. I’m definitely considering some rides this winter.

Did a little under 40 km (25 miles) in a little under 2 hours (120 mins). Felt good but I can already feel I'll be sore tomorrow

Interesting. No breaks? Do you pause the watch if you do take one?

Ok, ok, you caught me. I took a half hour break at the midway point and paused the watch? Is that cheating!?

yes, anybody who pauses their watch ever in the middle of an event is a cheater.

Did the 13-mile single track that I used to do with regularity. I haven’t done it in over a year.

Needless to say, it absolutely kicked me in the balls. I’m glad I did it, but Jesus was it a reminder that you can’t just pick up where you left off.

I bought a bike like six months ago. Today was my second time riding it. I am a bit too short for it and the seat won't lower any further. I have difficulty slowing down using my foot. I rode 3.12 miles. A car almost backed into me. My heart rate went high.
