Power Zone No-No?
Is it ever excusable to drop to zero during a Power Zone ride?
My excuse
I realized it was my wife’s birthday and I’d forgotten to say “Happy Birthday” when I saw her before getting on the bike. So I got off and went upstairs to tell her.
Luckily I was just finishing the first zone 3 interval in a 60-minute ride, so while missing a little zone 2 time is not ideal, I still had a really good sweat by the end.
Must stop reasons
Chest pain
Shortness of breath/dizziness
Vision issue (blurred, tunnel, etc)
And any other case where continuing puts your health at risk
Parent traps
School calls to say your kid is sick
Nap time ends too soon
Any significant injury to a kid in the house
House problems
Power goes out
Hot water heater is leaking
Fire
Husband traps
You haven’t done that thing you said you’d do
Wife traps
none
More?
What else am I missing? If you think of one, serious or humorous, leave me a comment.
And, as always, if you see KingWink on the Here Now leaderboard send me a High Five.
