Here’s something curious. "Getting Back into Interval Training (My Day of High Intensity Cycling
Intervals)" by The Vegan Cyclist. In August 2019 (12 min). I don’t recall if I’ve covered competitive
cycling on this blog (I see the label for it, though, as I type).
This appears to have been filmed near Lake Tahoe and US 50
in California, an area that I was in (by rental car) in September 2018. The evergreen vegetation looks dry and
vulnerable to fire unless they get high altitude storms with actual rain or
snow later.
The film shows the technical monitor for the bike across the
bottom of the screen.
The guy does not appear to be “shaved”, and I still wonder
if air wind resistance (or water resistance for competitive swimmers) really
matters, of it this more a matter of ritual self-sacrifice and peaking.
In the middle of the film, another cyclist named Cole rides
alongside him. Cole has cerebral palsy
on one side of his body, level 4. So he qualities for a persons with
disabilities competition, but it is not apparent at sight.
The Vegan guy stops near someone’s house and almost drops a
souvenir, and talks as if that is acceptable in this area. Later he is back home and he shows us the
stapled of his diet.
Picture: Mine, along I-80 approaching Truckee.
