The day before we scored a bike rack for only $43 at Target!
That was the cheapest we had ever seen one. Now we look like true mountain bikers. LOL
I like to think of myself as a fairly in shape person.
The altitude causes the air to be thin here and you get so out of breath.
I peddled my little heart out. My bike was having trouble switching gears, which didn't help at all.
I ended up being a girl and basically giving up.
One hill after another kicked my butt and I just lost all my breath.
I actually through my bike down and started crying. Epic Fail. LOL
I feel stupid about it now, thank goodness Cody "gets" me.
I was so frustrated to feel so out of shape.
Photo I took of Cody while I took a break.
We ended up biking for less then an hour, which made me sad.
I didn't want to push myself though.
I think I was close to passing out due to the lack of oxygen.
I am not giving up!!!.
The trail and I will meet again, and I will win. :)
I can relate. I know it will get easier but it was frustrating to have my lungs burning after just half an hour. I didn't realize how physically demanding biking can be.
ReplyDeleteIt's ruff. You can't just go and go. At least not without LOTS of practice. I am just going to keep trying and practicing. Sooner or later I will be awesome.
ReplyDeletei envy all the traveling you've done this year. my most outdoors moments have been from the front seat of a greyhound bus...
ReplyDeleteThings will get easier. :)
ReplyDeleteThe Mile-high elevation is definitely increasing the level of difficulty since you are just beginning. It's harder than it looks. Good luck!
what a nice ♥place♥ to be!
