Note
(sick)
I had hoped I'd be all chipper today, but I had trouble breathing all night and woke up still feeling not very good. Still not certain what the problem is, but this seems wheezier than the typical cold, and as I drive down the road I can see that we've got a bumper crop of ragweed this year.
Unicycling 19:35 [3] 1.35 mi (14:30 / mi)
From home to the Brooks House for ConComm meeting, 8 stops (the last three due to unsuccessful attempts to negotiate curbs). Longest stretch without stopping wa 0.68 miles, from the big farmhouse to the end of Turkey Hill Rd.
Unicycling 23:13 [3] 1.35 mi (17:12 / mi)
From the Brooks House back home after the meeting. In The Dark (yes, with the hatlamp). Had a lot more trouble getting started than I did on the way out, maybe due to fatigue, maybe due to the fact that it was dark, maybe due to the fact that there were people watching me at the beginning. About five stops early on (all due to curbs and gates, I think), but then I managed a solid 0.8 miles from the Main St. crosswalk just about back to the big farmhouse, and then was able to get right back on and make it the rest of the way home (up the driveway, even). Night-unicycling, I wonder if I should have a separate training category for that. Gotta be about the best balance work I can manage.
The crappy seat is now hereby declared unacceptable, as I seem to have sustained a minor injury from it. I resolve to remove it, and not ride again until I get a suitable replacement.
