Coyote-Bailey Time Trial Revisited – BionicOldGuy

Once a month or so I wish to retry the Strava phase that I created which is a time trial from the Coyote Creek Trail guests’ heart to the Bailey Ave underpass and again. Yesterday I did it once more and completed in 46 min 27 sec, a 2-minute enchancment over my earlier attempt. My first effort on this phase was 58:34, however that included a number of errors I mentioned right here, together with not consuming breakfast and never sporting stiff biking sneakers. When I corrected these errors I acquired it all the way down to 51:30. In three extra tries since then I’ve trimmed it to the present 46:27. That feels good as a result of it exhibits regular enchancment as a result of coaching. I’m actually rather a lot slower than after I was youthful, however nonetheless getting sooner in comparison with my earlier efforts as a 70-year-old.

I’m nonetheless quantity two on the leaderboard, however closing in on #1. Of course, an important factor is bettering vs. myself reasonably than evaluating vs. others, however it’s nonetheless motivating to have a goal to chase!

I additionally should preserve it in perspective that the principle level of my exercising is sustained good well being. Performance enhancements are tied to health features, that are wonderful so long as they help well being.
