I have plenty of it. Just not for anything that will generate a big income. That said, I am building a solid endurance base going into the fall. I kinda wish I had another race coming up, but alas, I will need to wait for spring to race.
Today I did 10 miles in the racing chair. It was a tough day, but I felt like moving forward, and just kept adding miles. I am still very slow, and I need to get stronger going uphill. My distances keep growing. Speed will come if I keep at it I am sure.
Today I went with lighter gloves. I am experimenting with them. I tried some soccer goal tending gloves. They are protective, but bulky. I think the cycling gloves reinforced make more sense and are less expensive. Either way, I am tearing them up I will likely make my own based on some of the instruction videos available. Hopefully by spring I have something that will work well for propulsion and protection. Gloves made specifically for the chair cost $160 and do not look very comfortable. I am hopeful for a better alternative. I am starting to understand the contact points and what I need from a glove. Having a few months to tear up a couple pairs has given me some insight into what I need from my gloves.
Anyhow 10 miles is a long day for me in the chair. Longest to date.
