#24: recovery
My recovery week (or two) marches on. I have not been 100% faithful to this idea, but I have managed to stay out of the red zone. I have only ridden a twice since the race weekend, both of which were subdued. What has not been so good (for recovery purposes) is the running.
Twice this week, I have hit the trails to run with my road teammate Andrea, who readily shows me up on the trail. I have met her to run both times at Shelby Farms and I am basically reduced to trying to keep up. She thinks she can turn me into a trail runner…that I am not so sure about. 50k, on a trail? What for? I might give it a try after the road season, but nothing that long probably. I have good memories of high school cross, but those were only 5k! I think I will continue to mix in running in the second half of the season for some more variety and save some time. I have used road running in the past to good effect, but trial running is proving to be more interesting.
1-1/2 weeks to Huntsville…the promoters changed this race from a flat road race / time trial to something a bit bumpier. At least my favorite crit remains unchanged.
