Well, it officially has hit me. My legs are mush. This is what my legs feel like:
My Legs
I tried doing the Coburg TT last night…and as you might imagine…if my legs felt like that…it did not go very well. I was almost 2 minutes slower than my time last week. This equals about 40 watts slower on average with a HR of 15 beats lower than last week. 220 watts felt like 300…and I could not get my HR up above 162. (which is pretty low for me). Talk about pain and a little frustration…but hey, it’s alright. Time for a rest day (or couple of days).
As I was searching for the image above, I found this.
Banana Holder!
So, I’m thinking, next time I should get one of these and maybe some how My legs won’t feel like squashed banana. Okay, maybe that’s not how it works…but I still think the banana holder is awesome. I wish they made them in the bunches so you could encase a whole bunch of bananas for a race weekend. I always end up with smooshed or baked (black) bananas.
Anyway, today is a rest day. And I am getting my hair cut. I’m thinking maybe something like this?
Or this…
Anyway, today is definately a rest day…I’m not doing anything but drinking my coffee and eating oatmeal…oh crap…the oatmeal is still cooking on the stove, I’ll be right back…
Speaking of which, Irish cut steel oats are the best. They are so much better than regular oats. At Trader Joes, (and maybe else where), they make some quick cooking Irish cut steel oats and they are definately the best because then you don’t have to wait so long for them to cook.
Anyway, that’s about it. Rest day today, some riding tomorrow. This weekend is the TTT so I gotta be plenty rested for that!
