Wow - I can't believe I haven't updated this since Thursday...
Diet - the same. I increased my calories due to all the activity over the weekend. But after Sunday's ride, I pigged out. I can't turn away Aunt Bev's home made coffee cake. Plus Stef's BBQ pulled pork with cole slaw and Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce. And Ghirardelli brownies. That pig out, carried over into Monday.
Pig out
Work outs
Friday: Doubled up.
- Sanity Check - I rode with Kev at lunch. I think I was on the edge of some sort of bike addicted withdrawal thing and Kev helped me break the momentum.
- That evening, hopped on the trainer and did a bunch of big ring intervals. They hurt more than I expected.
Saturday - It was a crazy busy day but the weather enabled me to catch up on some things around the outside of the house. Some REALLY late fall cleanup items I neglected... I straightened up my garage and finally got rid of all the boxes and cardboard from Christmas, I fixed Wifey's slow leak. Then we took Cameron to his wrestling tourney. Came home, ate dinner and then around 8:30 jumped on the trainer and did FTP intervals. they weren't any worse than I remember them. I was concerned because I had a very large ride lined up on Sunday and being that it was 10pm when I finished, I didn't know if Sunday morning, I'd die if I got on the bike.
Wrestling lyf
Sunday - Headed up to the land of
@The Heckler and
@Dutch Frog for some elevation. As I'm greeted at the door, Matt tells me
@pearl is also joining us - at first I was like - FAWK, three young guns that are known for fast climbing but then I was like - Nice, I get to ride with Pearl before he leaves for NC. So I got a tour of Casa de Heckler / Dutch Frog and then we hit the road. This was an awesome ride. Maybe a total of 1 mile of flat out of the the entire 48 mile loop. Lots of ups, excellent views, good quality scenic rolling and twisty roads, some dirty climbing as well and AWESOME descents. These guys put together a really fun ride - Nice job Gents! Made it home in time to coach my son's basketball game. Then right after that, we hosted a birthday party for my oldest son. By the end of the night, as soon as the last guest left, I hit the couch and passed out. I was beat.
Monday - I rested. Motivated by
@jShort recent post of him organizing his gear, I reorganized my closet and all my bike gear. My closet is now organized like this:
Left - Adulting (Work clothes)
Right - Non Adulting (Bike and work out clothes)
Today - I'll double up the work outs. Chest and Tri's at lunch in the gym and trainer after dinner. No more pigging out.
Music - I delivered a crate of vinyl to Matt and Zac on Sunday. I have a bunch of old stuff that these guys like to sift through. I gave them a crate at Granogue and whatever they want they can keep. I took some extra time Friday and Saturday night to sift through a couple more crates to pull out some 70 / 80s new age stuff. I remember Zac and I talking about that at one of the cross races so I figured he'd enjoy some of that.
