Journaling is going great

2026-08-28

Yeah, this is truly going great. I've decided to do daily logging of my activities, to keep myself from drifting all the time into something I shouldn't be doing at the moment — intermittent journaling, people call it. The only entry for today is this:

18:21

Did some work in the morning, but then decided it's time to jump on SweatRocket. The weather was good too, +27, climbed to +32 I think, decent... Of course, as per tradition, I promised myself it's going to be an easy ride along Vltava, just to flush yesterday's lifting session. And it sort of almost worked on my way to Vrane. I was sitting there with Míša and a Birell Pomelo&Grep when I saw a flock of MAMILs heading from somewhere further along the Vrane path back towards the city center.

They even had a van going along the road, blasting music in support. Of course, at Vrane they had to part ways — the van stayed on the road while the flock jumped on the cycle path. I thought, well, this could be interesting, let's see if I can catch them... Finished my Birell, at this point I was a couple of minutes behind them. Jumped on the bike. I think it took me around 5km to catch the first one, who for some reason had gotten dropped. Passed him, and got a glimpse of the rest of them a bit further along the path. Unfortunately, they were no contest, as I think they were slowing down to maybe turn somewhere, or just go for beers. Not sure, but that was a bit disappointing; on the other hand, I would have wrecked myself even more. I zipped past their peloton doing 38km/h.
