Friday may well represent some sort of watershed moment in the aging process for me. I have been getting tired eyes and headaches a bit recently so MK talked me into having an eye test. The result was that my short sightedness has not deterioirated, but I apparently now need to wear varyfocals ! That is really depressing.
Some time this week, I will have to go back to the optician with MK to chose a new frame and fork out some cash. One thing that has thankfully changed since I was last in a Danish optitian is that Spec Savers have bought one of the chains, that means that the prices are now much more in line with UK prices and I won't come out of the experience feeling like I dropped the soap in the showers of the high security wing of a prison for agressive gay gorillas.
Anyway the weekend only got better after that. We had really good sushi for supper and I spent Saturday riding in a 12 hour mountain bike race in a team with a couple of guys I met at the race last Wednesday. Before the timing system failed about 3/4 of the way through the race (there is a back up and we will get the results eventually) we were told that we were 23rd out of I think 160 teams but that may be completely wrong. It was a great day and I was completed exhausted at the end of it. I only rode for 3 sessions of 1 hour 10 minutes, but it was full speed all the time so by the last lap I was cramping quite a lot and slowing down a bit. I did managed the fastest lap for our team though which I was pleased about. I can still feel it in my legs today, but I guess I'll get over it.
Varifocals as we call them over here - a little premature.
ReplyDeleteI was nearer 50 when I needed them.
Since I only feel 39 this doesn't mean much as I'm sure that I only felt 29 at the time.
You'll need bigger lenses to get both slices in.
Congrats on the cycling front.

Lets all get depressed, why not just order the white stick now, it'll help with the sore legs too!
ReplyDeleteBTW is forking out a cycling term?
