80/20

Today was my 80th RPM ride.   So, on the 80/20 scale, 20 rides to go and I will have met the 100RPM goal.  Then I might change it to 1000, although I'm not sure my record keeping will last that long!
It's bit like reaching the last AA signpost on the Masterton Road.  I think I'm almost home, and then it reminds me 26 km to go.  Good feeling though.  I wont crack the 100 by the end of 30 June.  That's OK given the planned and unplanned interruptions I've had this year.  I will though by mid July.

Good RPM session today.  Took the load a little lighter, which meant I could go faster.  Hutt girl, like me, likes tracks 4 and 6.  Although the difference is Hutt girl can actually go quite fast.    There was a good moment in class where she noted a few of the riders (including me) were looking good.  Sweet.  Then she said if we looking that good, then we weren't working hard enough!  So, I went lighter and faster, and given its my final day before a rest day, it seemed to work.  I kind of like her humour!  She talked about going up Hirokiwi Hill today.  That has no significance for me so didn't register.  There was though a track that has this line "we build castles in the air".  Hutt girl asks sort of rhetorically "What does that mean?"

I guess it means the castles in the air are our vision, what we dream about.  What we aspire to.  I need to regroup on all that, and not just in terms of exercise goals.

Shortest day of the year.  Will plant my garlic this weekend, and hey hey its now the other side of the hill until the countdown to Taupo:-) now - although quite a few kms training to go yet.  If I was technologically savvy I would have one of those  number slot things that turns over.  Will just have to do it the old fashioned way
