How Heat Kills Your Performance

avatar

I finally got to testing my freshly decked out bike. It was a real hot day. And that really affected my ability to ride hard. Especially up hill.

The picture above shows the temperature history of the ride I did. At peaks it was up to 36 degrees Celsius. Too hot for me :)

While riding I was mostly thinking about the riders in the Tour de France the past weeks. They were riding a 100% and having higher temperatures. The more I know about this sport, the more respect I have fir these pro riders.

The human body is such a powerful thing!

Yeah, it's not healthy if you'd ask me! What kind of MTB racing do you do?
