sky is falling

This is what training is all about. 3 hours in the rain. Pedaling hard just to keep warm.

A rest day yesterday really pays off. HR is 10 or 20 beats higher on the flats. It's easy to get into the mid 170s for each of the four climbs of Komura Pass.

4 laps of the Komura Pass ~ Tajima Pass loop. Each lap takes about 35 minutes. Would have liked to have done one more. But two bananas and one drink just won't cut it....

Saturday's asaren: Komura Pass ~ Tajima Pass loop x 4 (90 km, 1400 m climbing)
