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.

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.

April 14

Just the evening I wanted to cycle for almost an hour.
Almost home I collided with a cyclist from the opposite direction.
On that spot of the accident cyclist's often cycle on the wrong side of the road, maybe because of the better pavement there. The other cyclist didn't do anything to avoid me (nor did I).
I now got a new wheel which has to be readjusted after 200 k.

Sunday ride

Today was really a test for what is coming. Next week Easter Sunday some members will go for the 180 kilometer.
So early in the season is new to me, that's why I want to try. And also I can use some kilometers.

Today it was a fine day with sunny spells, but a hard wind from the north west.
The club on which I ride on Sundays was big and a lot of them rode to fast in the first 10 kilometer going south east. That's why I told my self to go not to fast. After a short while I catched some riders and after 15 kilometer I made it to a gruppo who cycled as fast as I did. (38-40 kilometer/hour)
I stayed with them until the hills and then I went right, back to Utrecht (the others went left, for 20 k extra to Amerongen)
