【每周一贴】爬坡的5个原则

roy

So says Jonathan Vaughters. It's always enlightening when a pro talks about climbing, and Vaughters, the director of U.S.-based pro team Slipstream-Chipotle, is worth listening to. As a rider for U.S. Postal and Credit Agricole, he was so good against gravity that he set the record for the ascent of France's Mont Ventoux, the extinct volcano of racing legend.

Vaughters was featured last Friday in a cycling blog at the New York Times online. In fact, they gave him the whole column to wax eloquent on climbing. After a slow start he got down to business with his 5 rules for better climbing. It's great stuff. Here are brief excerpts:

   • Get on with it.  "Climbing is painful, period. The sooner you just accept that and stop looking for ways around it, the better you will learn how to climb."
  
   • Don't be self-conscious.  "If you are going about your business of climbing properly, you will be breathing like a water buffalo, sweating like a chain gang, and probably have snot dribbling off your chin."
  
   • Relax:  "Gripping your handlebars with white knuckles and doing brake lever pull-ups does not make your pedals go around any faster."
  
   • Pedal all the way around.  "If you just push the pedals down and let the chain go slack the other 250 degrees of the pedal stroke, you will be losing momentum with each and every dead spot."
  
   • The little engine that could.  "You must synch your breath, your pedaling, and your thoughts in one monotonous, focused, and plodding rhythm."

These are just snippets. It's well worth reading Vaughters' complete piece, which you can find at http://tinyurl.com/3t6266

第三和第五条我有点感觉

有关于踩踏的动作，我个人的说法是好像在进家门前，鞋子在地毯上往后拉几下的感觉。往上拉将会使得屁股因为受力而疼痛，反而不利。座垫不宜过高，座垫高，就必须垫脚尖，那往后拉的动作就很难做的出来了。

挑小毛病比做事情容易的多。所以世界上无责任批评家多，愤青多:-)

多谢你的翻译。

这个应该是说踩踏动作要圆滑，踩到每个角度都要出力，不要只在下踩的时候发力。

惭愧惭愧，你说的太对了。已经改正。非常感谢啊！！
