Weekend

Friday I did an easy ride in the morning. Saturday I decided not to do the solitude race because I had too many family issues going on, and still felt like I needed more recovery. I am not sure what is going on but both Saturday and Sunday I felt really tired even though I did not workout. Also still have a couple of minor injuries that do not seem to be getting better. I am going to focus on making sure I am eating well and getting enough sleep.

Recovery Ride

Did an easy ride at lunch today. Didn't push myself at all. I decided not to do the triathlon this weekend, I may still do the solitude mountain bike race. I decided just to rest the rest of this week. Then starting next week I have 6 weeks of good training time before the lake tahoe xterra.

Another Bike

Went biking again at lunch. Tried to push it a little harder, but did not go all out. Felt really good.

Bike Run Combo

This morning did a bike ride followed by a run. I didn't try to go too fast on either. I noticed my legs were a little sore still on the bike ride, and I was a little tired on the run. I was surprised to still be sore. My muscles are not recovering as fast as I would like. Everything felt good from my crash. I am hoping to do another ride at lunch. Tomorrow I will do a swim and see if my shoulder is going to feel well enough to do the race on Saturday.

Snowbird Race.

Yesterday was the snowbird race. The race was 3 laps and has a really steep fast part on a gravel road. On the first lap I was going too fast and got stuck on the inside of the person right in front of me around a turn. I tried to brake, but ended up hitting his back tire and flipped of my bike and landed right on my shoulder. I slowed down to try to avoid crashing anymore, and finished last. My shoulder really hurt throughout the race, and I probably should have stopped, but I wanted to finish.

On the way home my head started hurting, and I got a migraine. I spent the afternoon laying in my room in the dark. After 4 hours I felt better, and my headache was gone. Today I feel much better, but my whole body aches a little. I am hoping my shoulder feels better quickly and I can still do the triathlon on Saturday.

Day Before Race Ride

Did a short ride today to get my legs moving. I missed being able to workout yesterday because of problems at work. In fact I have not had much sleep the past two night because of work. Hopefully I can fix that tonight and be ready to race at snowbird tomorrow.

Snowbird ride with Dave

Yesterday evening did a ride up at snowbird with Dave. Did not feel good at all. I was very tired and muscles were sore. Dave had to keep waiting for me. I am taking today off in hopes of feeling more ready to go tomorrow.
