Click here for some videos on the Agility Guard, featuring a couple videos with my good bud Dr. Lim and the dentists I worked with.
Anyways, Sunday was again a perfect SoCal day, so recovery ride it was! [Insert picture of cyclists' butts and blue sky here.]
Thankfully another one of my clients joined me and we tooled around Irvine aka flat land -- I wanted no hill action! However, my recovery ride got somewhat hijacked thanks to some gnarly Santa Ana winds that forced me to pick it up or go like 5 mph. The tailwind was nice, though.
I eventually let my client go on his way, as he had hills and race-pace efforts to do. I was tempted to join him, but played it smart and bowed out. On my way home I dodged death.... The strawberries are starting to grow like crazy around here, which means one thing: BEES! I went through two swarms and I have never been so scared in my life!! I wasn't wearing a HR monitor, but I bet I went up to 200 bpms for a bit. All the while I was praying, "Please God don't let them sting me!!" I probably looked schizo and frantic the way I was riding and moaning. They were just whizzing by my one after the other like bullets-- literally a "worst nightmare" situation for me lol. Didn't help that my bike outfit was summer-ish, aka minimal coverage.
Thankfully I survived the bee storm and made it home, 21 miles later. I had an optional EZ/slow 2-mile run to do, and I debated. Within a couple minutes I was out running. It was perfect. I'm a happy camper anytime I can wear just a sports bra and shorts outdoors.
And now the week begins.... school starts; my last semester before it's Tawnee Prazak, MS. Saaaweet.
I think we need to ove to SoCal for that warmth! Great recovery day.

"I'm a happy camper anytime I can wear just a sports bra and shorts outdoors." Very jealous!
ReplyDeleteI'm interested in the agility gaurd - I can't wait to read more!
ReplyDeleteYour weather reports disgust me. I'm here in the Appalachian mountains, debating how many layers I will need to cope with 20 degree days and snowy road shoulders...
ReplyDeleteChewing gum while working out? tsk.. tsk...
