BIKE 2hrs and 34 miles, 20-16-12-8-4 at 75% (4)
No run today, I'm still hurting too much and need the rest. Although I admit that by the afternoon I'm feeling much better already. But no, I'm still in a fragile body state. Don't fall for it!
And quit shopping for 100 milers for next year! There really should be a moratorium on race shopping for so many hours after finishing a big event :)
I did the bike though, my original plan was to reverse the Tues and Weds bikes but once I got started I switched back to the longer Tues ride for today figuring that by not running I'd have some extra time. Still a late morning getting to work! Gotta be more efficient in the morning and not get busy like I did today with chores. Only a few more weeks of long mornings like this though.
Keeping a 75% effort wasn't as hard as I thought it could be. It helped that I did this indoors (too dark out!). But being indoors kept me more stable and required less of my tired back muscles. Today all that hurts is my calves, upper hips in the back, and my back. And some very tired shin muscles.
I thought about swimming this afternoon, but I lost time being a Blerch (but not on the internet like usual). Probably wont' happen.
So I'm thinking peak week will start Thursday and continue for 10 days, instead of this week being the 19hr peak week. Still rebuilding it. But that's what I'm thinking.
