Climbing Club - Sept. Goals

[maillotpois]

Hey Jo, don't give up on the 200k just yet. I read your journal. You have really been pushing. Take a week EASY and then see how you feel. (Read my journal for August if you want to see what "easy" means. )

Jo, second what MP said. Back in June, I ended up taking 2 weeks completely off...NO exercise...due to the estate sale and all that. Rather than hurting me, I came back and was able to push hard through July. I think it was just what my body needed after training since January.

Well, got in 2400 feet over 46 miles yesterday.

Boy did my quads HURT! It was exactly 4 weeks since Shasta, and all I've done since then was a few 15 mile rides and a few gym workouts. I was patting myself on the back for staying active during 4 weeks of a transition period between goal event and fall/winter training...

...but, I can see that yesterday's longer weekend ride was just in the nick of time. No more detraining for me!

There was a lot of ice involved post-ride.
