Jan 16 Race?
Tomorrow could be the first race of the season. If it is, it won’t be pretty. I’ve just gotten down south and in a distraction free environment. In my second ride over 3h since IM Canada (that’s in August if you’re counting). I tried a few efforts to open the legs up this morning.
2x3min (usually I would do 5min). At the end of the second one my legs looked ok but didn’t really have any sensations at all.
I am riding compact cranks (3-4 teeth smaller than regular chainrings) and normally after 2 weeks of riding they start to feel ‘small’ and after 4 weeks of riding I’m going well.
By next month I could have an honest showing at this race.
What race?
Well I’m not going to tell you, lest you try looking up my result.
1) It’s tomorrow
2) A local friend is the promoter
3) I WILL be racing under an alias
It will be ugly to repeat a previous statement.

If I were sensible I would go easy and run/ bike (there is hint #4) along with a friend, but I’m seldom sensible.
Here are pictures of my past 2 weeks of cross training.
Now I’m off top open up the running side of things, which should be interesting.
