NOOOOOO, NOT ZONE 1!

IF YOU'RE DRIVEN, and you probably are if you're a regular reader, seeing zone 1 on the training plan...

... is laughable.

We don't even know what that is.

We try to do it,
see the numbers.

Think, That's not going to help...

... awwwww, skrewit!

I have a solution.

It came to me on today's ride.

First, there was the absurdly long skid in the dirt...

• speed up
• back brake locked
• back wheel as unweighted as possible.

... just to see how long I could get it.

Then, the idea to jump onto and back off of every curb possible.

There was more.

My favorite was weaving the extensive traffic cones as long as possible without touching brakes or pedals.

90 minutes later, I coulda cared less about zone 1...

... I was in zone fun.
