9. I forgot one think, breathing...

I noticed I am breathing heavier then normal but blamed it on the studded tires. Tempertures hit over freezing today and I notice the heavy breathing was gone. I should have realized it was the tempertures that lead to my breathing heavier then normal. Your body has to heat the air you breath in. This requires your lungs not only to absorb the oxygen but also to hear the air. Thus my breathing heavy was more do to the temperatures in the single digits then the increase roll resistence di to the use of studded tires. Low temperatures requires increase breathing, that one aspect of biking in low tempertures I have forgotten about.
