I think I did not do very bad nor very well in my bike ride last Sunday, February 24, 2013.
For the first time ever, I did not feel good enough to go to work the following day. Yesterday am, I had to beg off work. My legs and whole body ached.
High lights/what I recalled:
> I was at the back of peloton and chased them when they were doing 43 kph at c6. I think I passed some fellow Recyclists.
>From Bicutan to Alabang, I was with the lead pack,
> At Daang Hari, everybody was just riding until the last 3 km when everybody biked fast and furious; I relaxed when it was 2 km till Bacoor and I was passed.
> At Paliparan I was ahead for about 7 km or so; I lost the speed at the last 3 km.
>At Greenwoods, I was at the middle pack
>At Tagaytay last 10 km, I could see the back of the other riders. I even passed Gerry. I relaxed at the last 2 km. Gerry remarked yesterday that I had heavy gear: 39 x 17 doing the Tagaytay climb.
Just to let you know you know the punishing pace, at Bicutan at 711, guys were looking for efficascent oil and were complaining of aching thighs.
I could notice that the pace slackened at C6 on the way back (fatigue set in).
I am happy with this ride considering that a young rider had cramps and had to quit; and there were guys who had muscle fatigue. (Mine set in only yesterday) I had sound sleep last night too.
