    What do you ride?

    IN the hospital they call them donorcycles

     

    I keep wanting to ride them, but haven't since I got hit head on by a car while riding one years ago. Like drugs... tempting but not worth it.

    Yeah, I am SO tempted to go out after work and go do speed runs... But I know if I do it will cost me more than I gain. One more day, two at the most, and I will be much better off. Chances are, if I push it, I'll be exhausted in a couple of days, and in a couple of weeks will wind up flat on my back sick for 5-6 days. If I push it too long on the endurance training, my immune system takes a nose-dive.

    Hmmm... Stopped climbing just over 2 weeks ago, ramped up the running because of it, and resting heart rate has gone up by 10 beats per minute the last couple of days, 24 hours, waking rate included. Had a mini-crash Sunday and didn't finish my long run. Was doing great time, too. Yesterday was a scheduled day off. Today my nose is running and heart rate is lower but still increased. I say it's time for an extra day or two off...

    I do purchasing for various hospital labs around Seattle (that shall be nameless), and they use more Nalgene than glass because it's cheaper and doesn't break. They make all sorts of stuff - Nalgene test tubes, beakers, etc. The 1-Liter bottles were originally lab equipment before they became popular as urban drinking bottles.

    The only info I can give is to watch your resting heart rate; for me it is the most obvious sign that I *need* to back off. I'll still feel strong enough for hard workouts, but I am guaranteed to get "flat" if I do push it. This hole then takes 2+ weeks to recover from! The Zone diet helps a lot for me as well. Lastly, I try and make a huge dinner at 8 or 9 pm, eat the leftovers for lunch, and then a mini-dinner at 4:30pm; this allows me to run right after work, and have enough time to make another huge dinner before bed.

     

    What do you mean? Do you mean you experience elevated resting heart rate during the times that you are pushing it?

    [TR] Oregon Cascades - Salmon Slab (Zig Zag) / Belay accident report 9/2/2007

    Doesn't ANYONE wear belay gloves? Why did she burn her hands? Same story on the other guy that broke his ankle a few weeks ago... His belayer burned up his hands too. Just wear one - on the brake hand - no more friction burns. Why not?

     

    Just curious...

     

    I don't know if you were refering to my ankle breaking fall?? but for the record my partner did not burn his hands because he knows how to belay. the fall was my fault. DON'T MAKE UP BS INFO!!!!!!

     

    No, it wasn't you, so cool off.

     

    Don't give yourself so much credit - I've never even heard of you.
