Conquered the bogey hill

[HeavyFoot]

Today was the first time I’ve managed this local hill without stopping. A slower cadence and shorter stride did it. It still hurt!!

Bring on K2. 🧗‍♂️

What doesn’t kill us !

[Sandraj39 Graduate10 in reply to HeavyFoot]

…indeed! 😯🤣

[Irishprincess Graduate10]

Ooh, that’ll give you iron quads and steel glutes 💪

[HeavyFoot Graduate10 in reply to Irishprincess]

And better lungs 🫁 please!!

[Irishprincess Graduate10 in reply to HeavyFoot]

I think you’ve probably got those already!

[HeavyFoot Graduate10 in reply to Irishprincess]

Nooooo!!!! 35 years after stopping smoking they’re well below par. Atelectasis it’s called.

[Irishprincess Graduate10 in reply to HeavyFoot]

And yet they’ve got you up those hills! 👍

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10]

Go you HF!

[Woollyweaver Graduate10]

Wow, well done - that's a proper hill 💪

[nowster Graduate10]

Wow! There are a couple of hard climbs there. Well done. 👍

Félicitations HeavyFoot !

[HeavyFoot Graduate10 in reply to Cmoi]

All good practice for the Ronde Cérétane in September 😃

[Cmoi Graduate10 in reply to HeavyFoot]

Which one? I see they've upped the longest distance to HM.

[HeavyFoot Graduate10 in reply to Cmoi]

The middle one 10.5km. HM would be my limit on the flat but definitely not in hills.

[Cmoi Graduate10 in reply to HeavyFoot]

Have fun HeavyFoot , it looks like an interesting event!

[HeavyFoot Graduate10 in reply to Cmoi]

Thank you. It should be fun even though there’s no huge communal meal with crazy oompah bands. Next year, I hope.
