Pretty lackluster week overall. I think I pushed a bit too hard the previous two weeks and I have been dealing with trying to recuperate this last week.
Total miles: 59
Hours ridden: 3hrs 40mins
Elevation gain: 617ft
I jumped back in pretty fast for someone who hadn't been riding much over the last year and a half, in fact it was too fast with not enough time to let the body heal and it politely informed me, by politely I mean I felt as though I was on the edge of a cold all week, legs were heavy and my energy level was at an all time low even though I was getting what I considered enough rest, food and drink.
So lesson learned, 120-170 mile weeks are a lot of fun and very easily done but make sure you are in such a condition that your body recovers properly while doing it.
I plan to be back on the bike and building the miles back up beginning tomorrow.
Not much really to say in this update, so until next time keep it rubber side down.
