Today's ride in Vermont: Quechee - Hartford VT loop
Biggest enemy today is my own sweat. Somehow a lot of sweat got into my eyes and stung my right eye so bad that I literally screamed while I was sprinting hard on relatively flat road along White River. I had to stop twice to wipe out the sweat around my eyes using my bare hands. The problem might also be the excessive sunscreen I put on my forehead, which was probably washed into my eyes.
I have had sweat stinging my eyes before, but never this bad. I don't know what's different today besides the possible sunscreen mixture. Did I push too hard so I was sweating more than ever? Maybe. But my power number was just a little higher. Though my heart rate stayed in Zone 3 for most of the ride.
Fun thing: while I was charting this route last night, I noticed a road called "Jay Hill road" and it loops back to the main road leading back to Quechee. So it must be a road leading up a hill. As a cyclist I have to ride up that hill 😋. That separates cyclists from normal people. Normal people will try to figure out how to get around it when faced with a mountain; but cyclists will climb up the mountain, and try to ride as fast as possible 😋😋😋.
