Climbing Club - May Goals

[Starfish]

Hi all...got in 3445 on Saturday...I think I'm up in the 12,000s now, and my May goal was 13,000, so I'm pleased.

How's everyone?

I didn't set a goal other than to do more climbing. I'm already up to 13000+ so I'm happy. I didnt' know I did so much cllimbing before I got the gps. The sunday ride last week really added on the feet though. My legs were sore for days.

How's everyone?

Tired. I think I probably didn't eat enough in my double century yesterday. Oh well.

I'm at 28,325 for the month and 135,508 for the year. Pretty good. I think I need to do more speed work, though. Especially if I have any hope of riding with my husband and having fun. (I'm definitely climbing better than in past doubles we've done together - but my top end is just a little more sluggish than it was before. Oh well.)

Sarah: They seem to be inversely related, don't they?

KelownaGirl: Happy Surprise!

So how is everyone doing?

I accomplished my big goal - Central Coast Double. I'll probably finish up with 35,000+ feet for the month.

As of today, I think I am at about 12,500. My goal was 13,000, so with five days to go and barring unforeseen yuckiness of any kind, I will make my goal. In fact, I might end up more in the 15,000 range.

Like you, Veronica, I did mine! It was a pretty minor one compared to things I see here -- just to get all the way to the top of "my" hill in one shot.

Good thing about it -- I'm doing better on ALL the hills I climb now that I've figured out how to climb "my" hill!

And I'm starting to wonder just how many feet I am logging -- I don't have a computer that can tell me that yet!

I think my goal was 25,000. I should be around 30,000, depending on what I end up doing tomorrow. I think my real goal was "less than April", which was a crazy month. So I achieved that.

And so it begins. Don't get an altimeter unless you want to start climbing more than you ever thought you would!

[maillotpois]

Okey dokey - looks like I will be at 33,650 for the month as I don't expect to do much more outside riding this week.

Lovely!

Hi Everyone,
This is the first time I have set climing goals so I had a lot to learn. I had set out to make two climbs up the face of Buckskin and ride Garden Creek Loop. Well so far I did ride Buckskin (back side, longer ride) once and have not ridden Garden Creek. But I am learning how to use my garmin and have climbed 21, 000 feet so far. I hope to ride Garden Creek this week. It a beast!!!
I really had a great week of riding. I rode 138 miles this week but more flat than hills. Wed I rode 50, Saturday I rode 65 miles and a few other short rides. Hopefully June will have more climbing!!

[SadieKate]

21,00 just for the month? That's great. SE Idaho doesn't have gigantic long climbs, so you must have been really focused.

This entire week was spent completely on the flat but I still managed managed 15,121 for the month which is 10% over my goal.

[maillotpois]

SK you're going to need to add another moon to your goal - or at last a large asteroid...

[SadieKate]

Um, why? I still have almost 80,000 to meet my annual goal. Even at 15,000' a month, that's not easy around these laser-leveled fields.

[maillotpois]

You're just doing really well. I am sure you can fit in some spatial errata like an asteroid. But I know towards the end of the year sometimes it gets harder to fit in long rides or travel.
