Head Cold kept me off the bike for a week, but after 2 brutal weeks I probably needed the recovery. I say brutal because my butt, neck, shoulders and back felt like I hadn't ridden... ever! My legs felt great, they never hurt a bit, though my lungs weren't too accommodating, but the legs seemed unfazed. The worst was definitely all about how my body needed adjustment to the saddle and riding position.I rode this weekend and all those non-cycling specific muscles seemed to have adapted and were much more agreeable to my position on the bike.. I felt great!
Still trying to avg around 5hrs per week at an EZ pace. My CTL is 16, moving in the right direction but have a LONG ways to go. I plan to race this upcoming weekend, which may seem as though I'm biting off more than I can chew, but I plan to ride for fun and will enter with the goal of trying not to come in last place... Racing is the best training!
