Bluntness

I've also been told I have little tact, so if this offends you simply ride on.

Beats per Minute

Well, it's Tuesday and I have a dental appointment in a little over an hour...  From there I'll hit my neighborhood Weis and Giant stores for groceries.
I disconnect my HRM belt from my Suunto Spartan.  Readings have been coming bad.  I'll look at my readings after a ride and everything will be normal... and then suddenly my heart rate will spike up to 190 beats of minute for about 90 seconds and then suddenly drops back.  Last evening for the first 6 minutes my HRM had my beats per minute at 230.  Believe me, if you heart is beating that fast, you are going to know it.  And last nights ride had some steep hills, one had 15% grade, which is really steep.  Most people will be out of breath by the time they reach the top.  My HRM said I was averaging 137 beats per minute.  So, this morning I disconnected my HRM belt.  My Suunto Spartan does the same thing.  We'll see how this works.
I guess the Idiot Jerk in the White House is blaming the approaching Recession on... Fake New.  Okay, so what else is new?  He lies daily and blames the truth on Fake News.  Because Evangelicals believe he was sent by God to give them what they want, they will always accept his word.  In their minds there is not going to be a Recession, of course, in their minds he's not a Racist, either.  No one ever said they were smart.  They are sheep, eager to be led by any one who gives them what their little hearts so desperately crave.
For those who are interested... I've been to the dentist, my teeth are fine, and I'm back.
I signed up for a new cycling challenge:  Ride for 5 days a week for 4 weeks.  I don't think I'll have a problem with that.  I'm off on Sunday and the Temps are supposed to be fine in the early morning so I'm thinking of taking the X6 out on the road.  I always ride early when I hit the streets.  Traffic, you know?
Now, I've got to go run because I have split days off this week and chores to do.  Yep, after today I get to work for another 4 days.  Hell.

    1. Truer words were never spoken. They blamed the Bush Recession on Bill Clinton, who left office 7 years earlier. This is because most Republicans are spineless.

  3. I’m going to start monitoring my heartbeat when I do my occasional interval training. It may prove useful. My doctor said that as Long as it goes up, it’s good.
    And if there’s a recession Cheeto is fucked. It’ll be bad for us, but worse for him, the author of the art of the deal.
    Cheap used car salesman more like it.

    1. Heart rate monitors aren't that pricey anymore, so invest in one. I prefer Suunto over Garmin, but that's me. Both are top of the line and offer inexpensive HRM's.
