Bowing to peer pressure

*pppbbblllllttttttttt*

I’m recruiting at the moment, and I have to say that the general behaviour of people has really taken me aback. I won’t go into it here, but sheesh, seriously it’s shocking the way that some people conduct themselves.

At least I managed to get an arsebreaking ride in yesterday! Did a quick 50km trip with Benny down beach road (profiles later!).

Weird things have been happening lately. My heart rate is pretty out of control right now, and I’m spending lots of time (hours!) above 80% of my maximum heart rate. This has lead Phil to advise me that I shouldn’t be seeing my HR max as a target or to do list I’ve been doing quite a bit of reading about it but still can’t really see why it should be jumping up so much. I’ve just got unfit I guess!! It’s been a long time since I’ve done a resting heart rate test (after a strong cup of coffee would be a bad time, right?) so it will be interesting to see if that has jumped up again too!

I didn’t exactly have an optimum lead in to the ride last night - I’ve been a bit dehydrated, and forgot that I had an early lunch. Figuring we’d be doing a quick 20km I didn’t bother to take gatorade (just water), so did that whole ride with pretty much no calories in the tank to begin with and none inserted during the ride. For future reference, Lance says “Calories go in!!!!”.

I still feel like a truck has hit me from benchpressing and other madness on Saturday, so perhaps I shouldn’t be surprised that an hour after I got home last night I nearly lost my lunch (what was left of it) and carried on a phone conversation with my mother that I have pretty much no recollection of. A glass of lemonade fixed me right up, so once again Lance says “Calories go in!!!!”

So today I give myself the What a peanut tag, I guess I really should have known better!
