    It was chilly about 52 degrees and windy at 14mph. I took the Catrike
    out and did 30 miles in my loops. Could only average 12.6 mph. It tell
    you the position on the trike I cannot pull a full breath. That has
    gotten bit better but far from gone. My reaction to getting better is to simply slow down pedaling till I can breath easier and then pick it up.

    Previously I was pedaling harder then I stop a coast awhile. It makes
    uphills much more challenging. I cannot get my HR up due to cardio is
    fine but delivery system produces lactate in legs quicker. I average
    only 94 BPM riding the trike I did manage the highest HR at 151 which is
    ok as such.

    However, I got home and climbed on the indoor trainer. Did 10 miles at
    115 BPM average and 110 normaized power. HR much high but not stressed
    breath at all and it fast than the trike riding. I did managed to get to
    26mph tops today.
