#332: Filling in the hole
After what has been a lower volume January / early February, I have been trying to right the ship by increasing volume and adding some intensity at the same time. The good news is that I am apparently able to handle it and I just completed a good 3 day block.
- Friday – 2 hours moderate mountain bike (night)
- Saturday – 6 hours moderate road – 100 miles
- Sunday – 4.5 hours moderate/hard – 70+ miles
Although this sort of thing will be routine in a few months, for now, it is a stretch. So we spent the afternoon watching Winter Olympics on our only “big” television (we finally bought an “HDTV” a few months back, 37″).
On today’s ride, I put in some good efforts through the Forest and generally was very happy about how I felt all the way to the end. I guess I must have retained more fitness than I thought. Hopefully, I can continue this through early season racing (and that my next China trip won’t interfere). Rouge is coming….
I enjoyed the ride at WR that Friday evening with you Ryan! You need to come out and ride with us again!
