Day 42

Quite a few of my friends do cycling now-a-days and I tried the same today. They say that their trips are like a hundred or 130 km long, like from Tampere to Pori or Turku to Nakkila. Well, I just finished my 16.2 km trip -yep, bloody 16 point 2 km-  and I'M DEAD. Someone is doing maths wrong here. After 5km I was ready to turn back. After 8km my legs were burning, 10km breathing sounded more than heavy, 14km I was sweating like a hell and all drops stream to my eyes and visibility was poor (almost hit a granny); bloody hell. Sport Tracker says that I did 16.2km in 40mins with avarage speed around 25km/h ( I stopped twice due the incoming call and Spotify crash). A bit embarrassing compared to the distance done by Kimmo, Mikko, Mari, Mika, Heikki, Katja and others..

So, maybe I'm not the next Louse Armstrong and can't make my living with cycling either. I don't no what kind of drugs these cyclist are taken, but it must be strong. I'm not too fat and I do some "movements" every then and then. Maybe it was those three blueberry pies that we ate yesterday, toped with a cream, made by Virpi, nammm...

Without Green Day in the background (Green Day – The Original Broadway Cast Recording 'American Idiot' Featuring Green Day) I propably would be still on my way. I boosted my last kilometers with System of a Down, as I need the extra kick (System Of A Down – Hypnotize  ). If that don't work for me, then nothing. Try to jog in a rhythm of SOD, like "Dreaming", and you will surely get needed extra boost!

I need a drink..
