I'm a bit shalacked, I'll admit. The wind was out of control Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and since it was Memorial Day today, I did my long ride for the week today (Monday), so it's not included in those totals. I was going to do it yesterday but my rear tube exploded Saturday afternoon and by the time I got around to fixing it (and hence realizing that my spare tube had a hole in it), the bike shop was closed. So, an early afternoon medium long-ride was had on Sunday and my long ride for the week was today.
I'm nervous about next week - another big week. After that, I'll probably take a day or two recovery (I'm just doing yoga tomorrow AM, and maybe a short bike tomorrow - weather permitting). I just need to keep my muscles somewhat loose, stay healthy (no sinus infections!) and keep eating good food. Six more weeks to go...
Things I learned this week
- Recovery matters. It's hard to recover while at work all day. Good thing there's only six real training weeks left. This weekend if I wasn't training, I was sleeping or eating or laying on the couch (sometimes two at once!).
- I have to figure out my bike nutrition. I haven't been using Perform - I've just been using water and gels/blocks on the bike. Today I nearly bonked and passed out. I either need to up my foods or incorporate some liquid calories.
