It has been quite the week! First off, my Madone got jacked out of the garage Saturday night, so my training plan has changed a bit. If I get any insurance money I'll just buy a new one. If not, I'll use the store demo bike for a while and get a new one later this summer. It's unsettling, and I keep trying to tell myself that a bicycle is merely a thing.
My training last week was as follows:
Wednesday: Intervals. I felt great and they were almost fun, even though I was tired by the last one. At the end I threw down a sprint just to see what I had left.
Thursday was a recovery day, so I cruised at an easy pace.
Thursday night I couldn't sleep. After work Friday I got home and went to bed instead of riding, so I shifted my schedule back a day.
Saturday I did a 2 hour ride at Jim's, and Sunday I went to the Kettles with Matt (Gehling) and Clare and Ashley and got my face melted for about fifteen minutes by Nathan Guerra. Then Matt and I kinda cruised the rest of it. I was fried by the end, but I popped an accel gel with 3 miles left and just drilled it to the end.
We werent' even going that fast out there and we passed tons of people. I feel good about the season. Gehling is faster than me, but that is a reality I have come to accept. 26 miles with somebody faster than me on mountain bikes is a good workout. Monday I rested.
