not sure, with grace? style?. How about degrees of bonking? that bonk without dehydration nor need for anaerobic exertion. Bonking in the shade with a tail wind waiting for equilibrium? Bonking without risk to life and limb is a good way to find limits and how well different foods are metabolized. My metabolism is better suited to deep cycles than screaming lactic acid tortures.

Maybe there's a reason I haven't been to those limits in a long time,,,,just remembered some of the debilitating rides home.... , the suffering is cathartic.

That the difference between paddling with a woman that is "one of the guys" and paddling with "women friends". otherwise Paddle float to the rescue.

Happy Thanksgiving
