A comedian, Rich somebody, defined Point Blimfark as: the moment when the wagon wheels on the old west shows seemed to slow to a stop, then actually appear to turn in reverse.
I would like to reintroduce this term: Point Blimfark; to describe the point on the PC learning curve where you no longer have to limit your pedalling because your hip flexors have been fried like a squirrel that chewed into a 220volt line.
I rode, I mean RODE!! in a 53X12 gear for an hour on my rollers. FINALLY, my heartrate was the limiting factor in my ride (trying to stay aerobic, you know!), not my previously pansy-like hip flexors. It feels just like giving birth...you just know you MUST at some point PUSH!!! And pushing sure felt great!
Oh, sure, it's taken me 32 days, but with encouragement from a couple of people ("Just don't wimp out, keep the rpm's at your goal", and "If you aren't real good at a skill, it means you just need to do more of it"), as well some specific workouts sent to me, I can proudly say I've reached Point Blimfark. Thanks to everyone that cheered me on while I struggled. I should also thank my mother, my second cousin twice removed, (the first time he escaped), the paperboy, my ex-girlfriend(s) and their dog/cat/iguana/snails, blahblahblahblah....
I'm happy about it, does it show?
