Hi group today is 1857 days of daily cycling.
On the weight loss front in early January I set a goal that when I go on my Alaskan cruise in August I would be wearing a new wardrobe having lost so much weight none of my clothes fit. Well I’ve lost 34 lbs. I’m still obese but I had to buy a belt to keep my pants up.
I have a part time job. I work with teenagers, last night I told a 16 year old my goal is to be overweight. I explained if you have been morbidly obese, overweight is a huge victory
Last month during march madness basketball tournaments I wanted to watch Caitlyn Clarke and the Iowa women play. It was on ESPN. In my little town if you don’t get that channel you can go to bar I don’t drink. Or the fitness center, I rode for the entire game.they won. Sweet 16 I rode 23 miles inside they won, elite 8 I’m biking cheering, final 4 bike cheer. When they played that last game I get ABC so I parked my rear in my recliner put my feet up and they lost. If I’d kept biking who knows.1 -
Forgot to log yesterday's ride, so capturing it here. And today's meetup was absolutely /brutal/. Nothing like nearly 7,000 feet of elevation gain over 4 mountains. Even virtual, on a resistance trainer that /hurts/. I am going to soak for a while now.

@Mari33a He got himself a Specialized Allez Disc. He needed a 61cm frame, which simply isn't available unless you special order it! It's ridiculously huge lol - but what's funny is that the seat on my Panasonic is only an inch shy of his, but my handlebars are slammed WAY down (1986 race bike ftw) and his are elevated into a comfy endurance position.
Today was a swim day and a day for Zwift Spring Training. Yippee!

Argh, did an hour challenge today. That /hurt/. Not in a physical 'my joints are screaming' way, but in a 'my entire body wants me to lay down and lets my spirit force-eject itself into the ether' way.
Recommended if you want to really test your fitness lmao

Race day today! Legs behaved themselves enough to maintain an average of 3.4 w/kg (over 200 watts) for the entire effort. I might be bottom-rung in my category, but I'm proud of my effort, darn it.

@RMUNTZ2 I'll say that I actually enjoyed Zwift racing when I was C category, even though there were a bunch of sandbaggers in those races putting out A and B category power - however, I could consistently get middle of the pack and within top 3 for females. But now that I'm in B? There's a couple guys who use bots to win (I have seen '400watts' more times than I care to count), and while there's less sand bagging it's significantly harder to even get to the middle of the pack. It's a real challenge!
Forgot to log yesterday because birthday wine wiped all thoughts of updating straight from my brain lol - catching up here.

2 rides to report since last logged in
Back in 2014 my husband bought a Specialized Hybrid bike. He only used it for about 2 years & now it sits in our spare room looking beautiful.

@billbiggers06 Thanks! I’ve been trying to get my running form down a bit more solidly during these times when my back isn’t giving me issues and my knees are mostly behaving. It seems to be paying off - while I’m nowhere near the shape of my antiquated race days, I can pound out a 5k without issue, and a surprise!10k isn’t intimidating. 1/2 marathons still require some planning and self-hyping, though
And belated Happy Mother’s Day to those to whom it applies! Forgot to log (and give that statement) yesterday due to obligations with the family. Catching up on the logging today.
