Colder Weather: Harder To Ride?

Some years ago I had the flu and this neat new digital pulse meter that I'd ordered arrived in the mail. It was February - about 20 degrees F - but I just *had* to go out and run a few miles to try the thing out. One case of pneumonia (not a bad way to go, actually...very mellow) and 30 pounds of body weight later I found out I had scarred something-or-other (bronchs?) and now I'm only good down to about 40 degrees. Any lower and I wind up coughing my brains out all night - and, worse, my Better Half gets really ****ed.... Scarred something at 20F??? That sounds awfully warm to be doing damage to your lungs to me, but I don't know much about that stuff. I do regularly run at 20-35F and haven't had too much of a problem. My friend working in Antarctica at the South Pole told me that they have an annual "Race Around The World" (a 2 mile course around the actual South Pole). This year it was -30F and he said his lungs burned for hours afterwards...plus I think he was breathing thru a balaclava. Ouch! G |
