Sponge Machine

Ja it was an interesting morning. Met up with A and H at Melrose Arch and did a tough cycle session: 5 minutes hard, 3 minutes easy, repeated 5 times. Hard may sound matter of fact, but the hard sessions maxxed out at 170 (for me at least).

What's interesting is when you are on the bike and you start to push above a 140 HR, the sweats starts to squeeze out, then drip. So you essentially feel like you are squeezing your own sponge tighter and tigher; wringing your body of its sweat, metabolising the fat, making the engine rid itself of blubber.

Getting up at 4:30am tomorrow for a cycle outdoors. Going to be cold and dark. Brrr.

Fietstoer: Oh ja, I heard that the fietstoer is having some drama. They were in Burgersdorp recently. Trailer broke off, and I think the one truck is sukkeling. And a cold front is moving over now.
