Training Log Archive: Grandpa Jameson

damn... just missed 8 hours of sleep. in bed at 1030 and decided to get up a bit early to get on the mtb. looking forward to riding and then watching football. rest week is over after today and it's on tomorrow.

kind of surprised i didn't add a couple of lb's on my trip.

still feeling good... and holding back. I headed out just before to the la costa trails. I just was looking to have fun on the mtb and not really push it. it the 5 climbs of la costa. all the climbs were steady/aerobic, but not really that slow. still pretty surprised at how good i feel. i again fought the urge to tack on some more time/distance. sticking to the plan - recovery week.

came home and got on the ball and foam rolled and did a bunch of strethcing.

in past after a vacation or extended break i would come home and immediately shell myself by going big. trying to make up for lost time and make up for the shitty eating & drinking. not anymore. the first races, and big races for me are still so far a way no need to rush anything. next training block starts tomorrow.

now it's time to relax, watch the bolts, and have a couple good beers. it's been over a week since i have had a "good" beer. bring on the IPA!

back in the usa. going to ease back into it over the weekend. time of my life in mex. just had fun. body feels great.

Mellow ride with my WIFE. Definitely wanted to keep today EZ after a week of no riding. i felt great and definitely could have ridden A LOT longer and harder but don't want to crush myself. still kind of dehydrated from the trip (traveling, drinking, etc).

rode up the coast and then hit the swamis/elfin loop. put in some harder efforts and then circled back around for beth.

can't wait to get on the mtb tomorrow.

jogged to gym and then shot some hoops to warm up. then i hit it hard.
