Nothing. Just reciprocate sometime. Could buy a new cutoff wheel though. If you do, get a good one. Or, Starbucks card or the like.

Ask indyfabz about the gym girls.
“test not performed, quantity not sufficient to perform test."
WTH. When I was doing home testing I only needed a drop of blood from a finger prick.
Now I have to go back. I had better not get billed for that .

Always a danger chasing and then overtaking someone that does a hill faster than you usually do. Eating crow in that area was my specialty, so now I will just pace them from afar, but the temptation can be overwhelming. The worst was seeing a guy approaching behind (using Varia) me on a climb and lighting the afterburners and taking it up to redline (182 BPM). Even though I was putting out in excess of 300 watts, the guy closed me down and passed - on a damn e-bike. I learned me lesson there, once and for all.
No idea what my MaxHR is anymore. I don't feel like looking for that. The two times I've hit MaxHR, I felt bleah for a day, and I was 25 years younger.

I have to memorialize this, because it'll probably never happen again!

the local Y (~8 min walk away) has a pretty wide spread in age of the patrons. most of the staff is pretty young and some of them are kinda cute
