Saturday morning Road ride-7am-felt terrible.

Road ride 30km. Alymer loop
mainly flat

Average speed --km
Max Speed --km
Duration: 1h

Started off okay with a good pace early on but the temperature was around 0 and I began to breathe hard. My legs were not bad but again I couldn't get any air to my lungs. I had to slow the pace down and then up it again on a regular basis. I had no rhythm at all. I began to cramp a bit as well as my knees were getting cold.

I need to start getting tougher mentally. I am very weak when it comes to dealing with pain. I could have worked through my problems today but gave up too easily.

Wednesday night ride

Wednesday, November 15
Road ride 30km. Alymer short loop
mainly flat

Average speed --km
Max Speed --km
Duration: 1h

Felt great. Almost didnt go as I was trashed from the night before.
Easy spin night helped flush my legs. Near the end of the ride we uped the tempo
slightly and it felted great.

Note to self: Even if the legs hurt, go out for a ride. Just do an easy spin.

Tuesday night ride

(Did not have computer)

Riding my full suspension mtb with a bunch of roadies.
I was extremely tired after the ride as I probably did twice as much
work as the roadies. I felt almost sick the day after.

Utah Saints

Just booked our Holiday to SLC Utah. Skiing for almost 2 weeks over Xmas. Last years trip was amazing. Must get fit and limber.

Sunday, November 12th

Mountain bike ride
2.5 hours, 20km loop
Some road and some off road.

Conditions: mainly dry with wet patches
Felt strange for the first 5km. The rest of the ride was great.
Relaxed, and technically I felt confident.
I don't think I lost much technique even if I havent been on the mtb bike for some time.

Tacx imagic has been ordered.

This is the reason I have not trained for a week. Halloween pre and post trauma.
I am now back in the saddle.
