    Wondering if I should ride tomorrow morning.  I feel like taking the morning off, at least work from outside office.   Probably hang around Starbucks or Coffee Beans... except I don't have the Huawei card where I can connect to the internet yet (using my phone will drain it's battery).  I still have problems connecting in using Singnet; it's a 50-50 chance.

    Today I was tired.  When I was spinning (high cadence, at least 130rpm), my heartrate was still too low.  And I know I wasn't going fast either.  Probably recovering from yesterday, when I was spinning between 140-150rpm.  Yeah, that's pretty amazing, but the thing is I've gotten so efficient that spinning at 130rpm only raises my HR to 130bpm... barely.  And today was even worse when I kept dropping to 125bpm.  So I tried to go against the music and spin faster... but was tired, painful and I just stuck to around 130rpm.  Which I think is still pretty impressive.

    I just need some time to clear my head.  A lot of things in my life now are beyond my control.  So I leave it to the other parties to do what they want.  Just a bit of quiet on my own.  Maybe I'll start from LH but maybe I will drop back to do my own recovery ride, where I just don't push and take my own sweet time to ride.
