So it's officially warmed up and time to get the fitness level on the old body. Headed out to Rock Store this morning; it was gorgeous - no warmers needed.
Decided to take it easy on the way out and time myself on the climb...my best time last year was 23 minutes. I wanted to ride it like a TT and go gently letting my heart rate ramp up to be maxed at the finish.
I did that and it felt great, practiced a lot of deep breathing too--have a bit of a habit of shallow breathing...push and pulled on my pedal stroke.
Not so bad at 24 minutes. Definitely would like to see 20 minutes in the near future, so I'll keep pushing. Maybe if I can lose that last 5lbs of winter fat...
Beautiful day to ride:)
