Cycling training suspended due to incompetence... my training diary entry from January 9 2026

Hi Actifitters,

Incompetence is the word of yesterday. The gears on my bike have been misaligned for quite some time now, and I've been annoyed about it for a while.
Yesterday was the point where it annoyed me so much that I wanted to fix it. It's important to mention that I have absolutely no idea about such things. Since yesterday was already a very stressful day and I was correspondingly irritated, I couldn't have chosen a worse day to tackle this project.
The rest of the story can be summarized quickly – the gearshift is now completely unusable. Before, I could at least shift within a certain range, but now shifting is impossible.

To avoid getting even more upset and at least burn a few calories, I decided to postpone the project until today and did 500 meters of elevation gain on my step board.

Since I did the whole thing in jogging mode within one hour and two minutes, it was quite strenuous and sweaty. I burned exactly 800 calories in that time and have considerable muscle soreness in my calves today. It looks something like this, only much faster.

Depending on whether I manage to get the gears working reasonably well again using some YouTube tutorials, I'll hop back on my bike today. Otherwise, I'll unfortunately have to find an alternative. More on that in tomorrow's report.


Daily HSBI raffle

Due to a lack of human commentary, no share will be given today.

That's all for today.
