Purrs for Nathan please

He is sore :-(

he was doing a cycling time trial this evening. He was off at number 13 - not a
good omen. Anyhow, Vernon & I were at our regular marshalling point halfway
down the course on a roundabout.

All of a sudden, 13 mins after his setting off time he appeared. Good grief!
This meant he was on target for a new personal best - he could beat his all
time fastest 10 miler of 26 mins and 45 secs. He was going like a train for
him.

Alas - he came too quick into the roundabout and his inner pedal on the turn
clipped the ground and *BANG* off he came. He let out an almighty scream. My
heart skipped a beat or two and I *ran* to him. Got him up - nothing broken but
he'd given himself an awful fright and he now shows a truly impressive amount
of road rash on his shoulder, elbow, knee and, ahem... bottom...

Such a shame as he was going really fast for him. He was concentrating so much
on keeping his heart rate up and his cadence up (rate at which he turns the
pedals) and he didn't think he was going as fast as he was. What he forgot was
that by keeping his HR up and the cadence up, the speed automatically follows.

He also forgot to turn properly...

So any spare purrs for his dented rear, knee, elbow, shoulder and pride are
most gratefully received :-)

Cheers, helen s

Ow!! How does one monitor HR when you are cycling??

Purring for a quick recovery from the well earned skin trophies.

Ow indeed.

HR measurement is easy. You wear a band round you chest that has a bit of
electronic wizardry in it that measures HR. This is then transmitted to the
computer thinggie (technical term) that is fixed you the bike handlebars and it
gives a digital readout of current HR, average HR, current speed, maximum
speed, average speed, distance travelled....

'ain't technology wonderful ;-)

Thanks :-)

Patty can relate: she was only about 20 feet behind me when I wrecked my
motorcycle a couple of weeks ago. She sold hers about two days later and
is nagging me unmercifully to sell mine.

No matter how cynical you get, it's impossible to keep up.

When Clinton lied, no one died.
