NO ONE CAN SEE YOU PUSH IT

The mountain passes were still white and cold. At 7000 ft and over you feel it. No matter how conditioned you are it takes a toll on your lungs. Especially this 55 year set I have. 

I discovered I can sit and spin up the mountain at 4.5 mph or I can get off and push it at 3.3 mph. I'm not embarrassed to say I pushed it over the top.

It's not that you get out of breath, you just feel weak and wimpy. Now that I am again at sub 2000 ft I feel much stronger. I cranked out seven 100 plus days and still had some kick when I arrived in Omaha. 

I will assess the next move in Chicago and head for Boston or Key West Florida.
