It's been a rough week for training. Hopefully, this is a good sign like in theatre. If the dress rehearsal was bad, opening night would be wonderful.
Last Sunday, I had ridden to Centralia and ridden 40 miles on Monday.
Tuesday 6/4 - 25.5 in 2 hours 16 minutes to Centralia, around town and back to the church in Sturgeon.
Wednesday 6/5 - Trying to beat the incoming rain -- AGAIN! 19.8 miles 1 hour and 40 minutes
to Centralia, around town and back to the church in Sturgeon.
I was trying to get in 250-300 miles, after four days I had done 105 miles, but was struck with a sore ITB (that's not a picture of my knee!) so I knocked off the training a LOT.
No biking, just rest and stretching the knee on Thursday. It was significantly better on Friday, but I still wanted to take it easy and test it carefully.
Friday 6/7 I rode around Moberly, 8.8 miles in 48 minutes.
Saturday 6/8 I was able to ride back to Centralia and around town again 22.1 miles in 1 hour 58 minutes.
I'm taking a couple more days off, Sunday and Monday, to allow the ITB to finish healing, and it's raining again! I leave for the ride one week from today!
6/9
