Virtual 202532
Fifty-four kilometers on the virtual tarmac, a ride meant to balance Monday’s shorter effort but became something more. My strength held steady, endurance remained unshaken, and somehow, I shattered three personal records, one by a staggering forty seconds. No idea where that extra power came from, but I will take it. Some days, the effort feels measured, every push accounted for. Other days, something deeper surfaces, an untapped reserve emerging without warning. It is in those moments progress is felt, not just tracked.
The rhythm came naturally, the legs responded well, and the ride flowed with little resistance. I managed to push through thirty-four kilometers straight without stopping, a clear sign endurance continues to build. Fatigue tried to creep in, but the momentum overpowered it. Every ride serves a purpose. Some are for speed, some for climbing, and some simply for movement, but all contribute to the greater journey. Strength is not built in a single session. It is layered, reinforced, and tested over time.
Motivation continues to grow, not just from numbers or records but from the feeling of movement itself. The return of strength, the sharpening of resilience, the sheer joy of pushing further than expected. These moments remind me why I ride, why I continue to push, and why stopping is never an option. The road ahead remains long, and the fire within remains strong. Every day brings a new challenge, and another chance to evolve.
