Wow. Been pretty quiet round here. Guess it’s officially the “Off Season”.
helllloooo!
After a few days, then weeks of frantically wondering, “What’s Next? What’s Next?” I’ve sashayed gracefully into, “Ah! This ain’t so bad!” Meaning no agenda, no “program”, no specific workout. My knee still being semi-bunged up is of course contributing somewhat to the laissez faire attitude. And to be perfectly honest I was googling “iron distance races in July” because my Coach … or ex-Coach now I guess (wow. THAT’s weird!) … let it drop that if I were to keep up my fitness over the winter I could be ironman ready in 3 months. But even that has segued into a calmer gentler view of the future. I’m content to let the chips fall where they may for the moment. Geez. Maybe that whole “wisedom of maturity” is finally kicking in?!? Yeah. I don’t buy it for a moment either!
Look what TJ found … The Savage Man … which claims,
Welcome to Westernport! Check your pride at the door. The Westernport Wall is the steepest climb in all of road triathlon. At just four street blocks the Westernport Wall is not particularly long, but it starts steep and gets steeper, culminating in a final block on a stretch of road so steep that it has long been closed to traffic.
With its poor pavement, an average grade of 25% and a max pitch of 31%, successfully getting up the final block of the Westernport Wall takes a bit of skill, a bit of luck, and a lot of True Savage determination! All savages who conquer the Wall without putting a foot down receive a special “Brick In The Wall” prize.
Pretty sweet, huh?!?
