15. September 2022 / day rating: 1/10
yes, Im not joking. This day was horrible...
so what happened today:
- actually I just had one thing planned: biking to Leipzig and back in one day
- Reason why I wanted to do this: get some km at the challenge, cause of my poor performance so far
- but it went horribly wrong
- I started at around 7 am
- first bad thing happened after around 90 min:
- while driving I tried to unpack an energy bar for what I had to take of my gloves
- and while that, I probably lost one (its not that bad, but still annoying
- but this was the point where my motivation went slowly down the hill, although the weather was
great for the next hour
- I even discovered this new podcast for me: "gemischtes Hack" - a German comedy podcast
- oh its sooo great, one of the best podcasts ever for me
- after around two hours I knew I wouldn't make it to Leipzig (140km too much), but this didnt
bother me really. My goal was to collect some km and I turned around after 100km
- which was a really good decision because:
- 200km is also really good for me personally
- my legs were slowly but surely deciding to resist my brains commands to continue cycling
- but here it comes: I obviously got a flat tire, around 30km before the finish line
- so I had to call someone to pick me up, who luckily had time for that
- I walked for a couple km until I noticed some kind of cramp in my left leg
- walking got harder and harder with every step but I didnt wanted to stop
- On my way another biker passed me, stopped and offered me his help!
- Im so thankful for this man ❤️
- got to fix my tire
- So I swung back on my bike, but the moment I made the first moves the pain got more intense
- so intense, that I wasn't able to walk anymore --> so skin painful
- I guess I need to make more breaks (30min on an 8 hours ride is too less)
- Luckily I got picked up around 20 min after that. I got back home but the pain was still there
- I can barely move my leg, so im just lying in bed resting, watching videos
- Even got headache from the pain
In conclusion: not worth it! So exhausted now, can't even plan my next day
what im thankful for today:
- my cousin for picking me up
- this random kind biker for his help
