I had a really
good ride this past Saturday. In old
currency it was over seventy miles and over four thousand feet of
climbing. I ate a bunch during the ride
and finished strong. I was tired after
the ride but not shattered. It felt good.
On the one hand
it might seem a bit early to be increasing the volume when my target is in
June. Then again; perhaps not……
On Sunday I woke
up with a sore throat and made the uncharacteristically wise move of skipping
the Coffee and Lies ride. It reminded me
that my plans have to include contingency for unplanned events like illness. I’ve already got travel scheduled in May
that dictates I skip a week of riding just a month in advance of my big trip.
The message
there is I should be in full condition in early May and then take the four
weeks after I get back to get BACK into the shape I was in when I left….
Setbacks happen
and I am hoping my plans provide enough contingency to allow me to miss some
days and still hit my goals. That
necessitates aiming high and dealing with reality.
Wish me luck!
