Ok, so week 2 of my intensive cardio regime went really well. Didn’t pass or catch up to Brendan yet but I’m gettin’ real close! Again, i alternated between rollerblading and cycling to and from work with little added detours here and there.
highlights of the week include:
• running all the red lights on queens quay to up my average cycling speed
• speeding ahead of perceived opponents when the light turned green
• racing a couple of guys with road bikes & fancy cycling shoes – one of which i passed
• a grueling rollerblading ‘race’ between me and a girl in turquoise pants….damn she was hard to beat! …but i passed her a block before she turned into her apartment entrance
• rollerblading past a girl on a bike only to have her call me a ‘show off’ and a bunch of other curses that echoed into the distance as i raced past her
