flitting across the earth





The final sprint was great today.  As I have noticed in the past, if I want to have a decent time, I need to begin by lightly brushing the pavement.  I need to flit across the surface of the earth.  I also felt power at the end—not the crushing weariness of earlier sprints.  The pull-ups, however, are difficult.  I’m not sure if I will be able to accomplish 21 by Moscow.  The pipes here are thick—except for the one that is fastened into a tree.  This pipe, however, is short inches from the tree so I feel a bit claustrophobic as I exercise at this station.  I am keeping up the number of sets so I do not lose my stamina.  I’m thinking that I need to have a day or two of rest before I make another attempt at 21.  Another point is that the small diameter pipe in the tree is at the turn-around point of my morning route.  I will need to ride a bike there in order to be fresh when I attempt 21 pull-ups.  I can do that.
