Yes I mean Torque not Talk. I was explaining to Paul that the little legs will only go so fast... and then I get all tuckered out. So I have started doing more strength training. I think I am a tortoise not a hare.
Being as how he is full of useless facts... I mean very interesting and pertinent information... he explained to me all about torque versus power. Here is what I heard... blah, blah, blah gear ratios... blah, blah, blah acceleration... blah, blah, blah... blah, speed, blah...... goodness me, is that a butterfly over there (obviously that was me and not him)... and so on...
If I had done him the courtesy of actually listening, I would now understand that torque makes things go fast quickly (acceleration I believe) but does not have a high top speed. Whereas power gets there more slowly but has a high top end. There were numerous examples provided of each... I know right!!??
So maybe saying I have power is nicer than saying I am a tortoise... so let's go for that.
76km this month to date. Hooray for me!
267km total training done to date. Less hooray for me... well I think it is totally hooray for me... but still short of the 399km of our ride.
OK. Back to today's list of urgent jobs! Why does it just keep getting longer??
