Today sucked. My normal Sunday crew bailed on a road ride, so I went out w/ some Team Tortuga teamsters. We did a really great route I’ve never done before, but what a miserable day. It never got over 40 and snowed hard a few times. Add a stiff wind to that and you have a terrible day to ride. Oh well, it was a good ride and I rode hard. It was good race simulation type riding, with (myself) being attacked on hills and having to respond; a sharp contrast form tucking in behind RS and taking an occasional pull. Today was not nearly as hard of a ride, just different. But good.
The week was spent inside training 100%. Today was a touch under 3 hrs, I got in a touch over 11 hrs. Indoor training is killing me. I am, at this point, dragging my bones onto the trainer. Once I get going, I don’t ~really~ have a problem, but getting on is barely happening. I plan to take this week easy(er) for mental health’s sake. I’ll likely put in ~8hrs. I am racing Sunday in OH, so a little R&R can’t hurt anyway.
1 other thing from the week:
I saw my favorite band, X, Tuesday in Indy. It was awesome. I’ve only seen them (as X, I’ve seen the members in they’re various other projects) once. I was determined to stay in the front of the show, even though I was pretty sure a mosh pit would be forming behind me. It did, but I held my ground (a 130lb weakling such as myself doesn’t fair to well in a punk mosh pit). So meat-heads thrashing me aside, the show was great. A+.
So, easy-ish week, then first race of the year!
Hopefully this sh!t weather is done for.
