Did my last commute/ride before the Century on Saturday. 14.5 miles at around 13 mph or so. Kept the HR fairly low and the cadance high. Or tried to at any rate.
I'm seriously considering heading to the local drugstore for Ebsom Salts so I can sit in a hot bath tonight (and each night for the next 3 days) and try to relax all these kinks out of my body! Achey, knotty back. Achey, knotty left hip. And, just as puzzling as the hip, achey knotty right calf! My chiro was working the knots out yesterday and will try again tomorrow.
But still, today I had zero pepper in my legs, especially on the hills. I took it easy, tried to spin, but on some of the hills, I just stood up, and - ugh! - my legs felt like I was at the tail end of a 70 mile ride! So...no more riding or I'll never finish my century...never mind try to finish in 5 hours of riding!!
