Training Log Archive: Sudden

X league at Grindstone Creek. Ran with Adria. Sore and stiff from yesterday's crash but gradually got better. Some pretty steep stuff in there.

Didn't have any motivation really today but did eventually get out and in hindsight, staying home would have been the best thing to do. Coming down on Harvest with a nice tail wind, a wind gust threw me off the road, in to the very narrow gravel shoulder and I fought to get control over the bike but eventually failed and slammed in to a mailbox. The box broke, post snapped, hurt my hip but bike was okay. Managed to locate the owner of mailbox and then hit the road again but was pretty sore. No broken bones though, mostly muscle so anti inflammatory should help.

Late so missed the peloton. It was Down down Friday but I took the plains short cut and found one group coming up from N Shore; nice to have some company on the last part along York.

Adria and I joined Isak on his recovery run. Drove over and parked at Sanctuary.

Classic skiing along the link. Sluggish.

Wastrel Wednesday. Quick opening but more moderate after that for some time before picking it up again going up Lemomville. On Tom's wheel for a large part.

Race Wednesday - Splits

Most of the hwy8 climb was open so it was possible to go up the escarpment that way for the first time this year. Formed a group with Jan, Ed and Yuval.
