A little update for you cycling fans out there: the base training has been better than ever this year. Big hours on the weekends, strength training, yoga, and intervals during the work week. The last 2 weekends have included 6+ hours of ride time and 5+ hours of trail work. Adding a new section of trail to the Ridgeland trails this year with the TCMBA trail master J. Polk. Last weekend we addressed some areas that were screaming for a couple of expert level rock gardens. I love it.
The body has responded to the training wonderfully...until last Sunday. Starting feeling fatigued, then got some sort of stomach bug, took two days off, and am just now getting back in the swing of things.
The human body is an amazing thing: subject it to the rigors of year round training and it responds like a finely tuned sports car...eat some bad food or touch the wrong door knob and you're knocked down for the count.
Oh well, it happens...and I've found that we tend to come back stronger than before. One notable exception being the lovely Mrs. Gunn-Rita Dahle...
Yee-haw it's Friday and tomorrow I'm hitting the dirt!!
