2007-05-15 Tuesday Namche Bazaar altitude 3440m

Testing day today, and I am feeling irritable at the stupidity of those around me, and rather depressed. I don't think I am performing very well, and my guess is that even good adaption to altitude which I conned myself I had, is an illusion, though I haven't been on the bike yet. When I got on the bike it was hard work, and was interrupted by an interested spectator. My maximum work rate was 200w, compared to 230w at sea level, and 240w at Katmandu.
