Coyote-Bailey Time Trial Revisited – BionicOldGuy

As soon as a month or so I wish to retry the Strava phase that I created which is a time trial from the Coyote Creek Path guests’ middle 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 strive. 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 footwear. After I corrected these errors I obtained 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 on account of coaching. I’m definitely loads slower than once I was youthful, however nonetheless getting quicker in comparison with my earlier efforts as a 70-year-old.

I’m nonetheless quantity two on the leaderboard, however closing in on #1. After all, a very powerful factor is enhancing vs. myself slightly than evaluating vs. others, however it’s nonetheless motivating to have a goal to chase!

I additionally should maintain it in perspective that the primary level of my exercising is sustained good well being. Efficiency enhancements are tied to health positive factors, that are high quality so long as they help well being.
