The weather was horrible today. Thick fog-like smoke in the air. The wild fires are not yet over... I decided to ride in-doors. Innsbruck was one of the maps for today. It was the perfect choice for me. I like the climb, as it is less than 30 minutes in duration. I did the 14.7-ish mile loop. I was sufficiently warmed up, by the time the climb started. I was putting in 3 to 4 watts/kg, most of the way up the climb. I was wearing a strap for my clear glasses. It healed a lot. I didn't have to adjust them, from slipping down my nose. I still had to sit down to wipe sweat and hydrate. No way around that. I was passing most people, as I was ascending. Definitely encouraging. I was paying attention to the elapsed time, more than anything. That and my wattage. At times, it felt like I was counting the minutes going by. In those moments, I tried to distract myself by just looking at the scenery and listening to my music. I made it to the summit in about 25 minutes. I think I placed 40-something. Out of 1800 riders, on the map. After reaching the summit, I headed down the mountain. Mostly soft pedaling. Under 100 watts. I made my way through town and back to the start-finish. Concentration was good. My morale was high, so that helped. Ailments, next to none. Balance and form was good. Gear worked greate. Nutrition was good. No signs of hunger pains. I drank about 1/2 my Gatorade. Other notes. I have an ERCP procedure that's going to be done on the 9th. So, I'm now in taper mode. I'll be taking it easy till the day of the procedure. I anticipate that it will take 2 days to recover, before I can even think about hoping on the bike. I'll likely start by hopping on the trainer. More about this later.
