Review of 2009

In 2009 I was injured from april till august. I made few kilometers.

update October 18 2008

total 2008 5768 kilometer

riding

October 10 2008 I've cycled 5,529 kilometer.
In cycled over 105 times to come to this distance.

Hopefully I can cycle more this year. It depends on the weather and on being free of accidents. I keep my fingers crossed.

update

I'm still cycling. This summer I did my longest tour, cycling to the Mediterranean and back.
After that I had mayor setbacks. But now I'm cycling again.

home

Last Sunday I fell with my bicycle. It was an hilarious fall because I stood still. The front wheel of my cycle blocked because of a little sand dune. There I lied on the ground. I stood up and finished the ride. Total distance 90 kilometer.
Monday I just went to work but it was a strange day on which I didn't stay quite as calm as I should be. Maybe I had a concussion of the fall. It was better to stay at home on Tuesday, I learned from an earlier fall in September that should stay calm.
Tuesday I stayed calm but suddenly while sitting on the sofa I had an awkward or inconvenient feeling inside my head. It was if a couple of bees were flying around and they couldn't get out.
I had this sensation before. I hoped it would come back. But now it's there again saying "Hellooo, I'm back, here's Johnny...."
I had that feeling before an epileptic attack. The last one was more than 6 years ago though.
So today I took another day off (officially ill) and tomorrow I'll go to the office.

April 14 2008

Since my last update I've been cycling

From January 1 till April 14 I cycled 61:19:28 hours

Min 5,94 k per tour 29,70 k/hr lowest highspeed

running

2 weeks ago I had a racing wheel replaced so I couldn't race. So I thought to pick up running again. I had in mind a route through my neighborhood and I started running. It was easy and I could make speed in the first 1,000 metres. Then I had to slow down because of breathing problems (ran to fast?). After that the route followed a canal, where I had to fasten my shoelaces, crossed a street and ran along another canal back home. I was tired within 15 minutes...sweating for hours after and the next day every muscle in my legs hurt.. I better train without thinking running is easy.
Maybe it is (I know), but the law is that it takes a lot of energy to make the first steps.

Still cycling...4,000 k further
