A NEW NAME FOR AN OLD RULE || NO PUNCHING BELOW THE NECK
THOSE STUPID SUMMER COLDS are the worst. It's not cold. It's hot. We should be sweating, not clammy. Screaming for joy, not hucking up shiz. When colds happens...
... what's the rule for training?
It's simple.
Above the neck, ride like heck.
In the chest, get some rest.
So, did I do that?
Noooooooooo...
It was Saturday morning,
the fellas were gettin' together,
there was new bike to put through the paces.
I knew I was at that point of my cold that I'd either return feeling...
... I'm healed!
Or, be wasted the rest of the day.
I rolled the dice,
punched it numerous times with surges and sprints and climbs.
Quickly dropped.
Limped home.
Collapsed.
Too wiped to eat properly,
too miserable to sleep.
Every ride has the potential for...
- sprinting
- digging deep
- going all out for the PR
... but, they'll be no more punching when the cold is below the neck.
