Legs and Wind

It was long ride day today. However, mindful of the taper, I reduced the ride to 2hrs 20mins. Went on the single speed bike and battled the wind (about 20mph) most of the first hour! I was with Mick, which made the ride more enjoyable. I hadn't realised how much my hamstrings were aching from the track session on Thursday - ouch! We had meant to be running the 200m reps at 1500m pace (around 35 sec). Of course the last few ended up being a race and the last rep was under 30sec, which is pretty much a flat out sprint for me.........and the spasms in my hamstrings told me so! Anyway, enough whinging! The point is, my legs are shot today! My wife banished me to the pool to swim my grumpiness off (what a great girl she is) but there was a swimming gala on - back home I went without a swim.

Mick was riding well today and he has graced my Blog with some comments about my over training........ age does funny things to the brain and I am sure that Mick has got it wrong 8-)

It's a rest day for me tomorrow. I will go to church in the morning at Calvary Chapel Cambridge in Milton (check out calvarychapelcambridge.com) where Pastor Joey Rozek will be giving some great teaching. Joey is an awesome teacher from the US and if you have any questions about the Christian faith, he is the man to address them too!

Time for my glucosamine supper - train smart!
