Training Log Archive: silkychrome

longer run with the intent to stay comfortable the whole time. managed to do that mostly, tummy was a little unhappy with my chosen fuel, but finished out fine. 100% humidity for sure, i was soaked afterwards.

finally! a proper training day. moped around in the morning waiting for Isaac to break. caught a gap in the clouds, left the apt, and within 10min was riding in a downpour. ah, well. out to BSW to drop off tires i borrowed from Doug, then to Rockwoods.

i guess this is orienteering. intended to do the rockwoods red course from last summer backwards. but i got frustrated on some of the harder controls bc i didn't know i was EXACTLY in the right ditch/reentrant/etc. so kind of started wandering after CP9 and ended up kicking out of the woods wayyyy down by the six flags entrance. then jogged back up the loose mtb descent to muckerman.

easy ride back to my apt with a stop at james' to pick up a tire i ordered. getting set up for tubeless.

i don't think i've taken this many off days in a week since my 2-week hibernation after ITU Worlds last year. i just feel like sleeping when I get home from work, so that's what I've done. maybe that's what happens when you don't do a 24hr for a year?? and now Isaac is here so lots of rain over the long weekend. was gonna go race mtb in MS but HH bailed, so i'm coming up with a few fun solo adventures for the rainy weekend. control picking at Rockwoods tomorrow, anyone?

LV ride with HH. never really got a good flow going..started late bc i had to switch tires (1.9s will not do on the babyheads). then we helped a guy fix his chain. then my mega light would not turn on (tg I didn't need it at t-rolls). then we helped a guy fix his flat. one of those rides where 20 miles is better than nothing, and move onto the next one. legs felt surprisingly good, almost normal!

considering a trip to MS for the Skool of Hard Nox 50mi mtb race. maybe...if Isaac stays away???
