This was a tough week for me. Work stress to the maximum as i am finishing up a green infrastructure locator for the entire City of St. Joseph, Mo (Natural Resources Planning). After 2 straight weeks of traveling and racing at tough courses (Rock Bridge, Colombia and Castlewood, St. Louis), I geared down from super climbing courses to a flat twisty course in prep for Spanish Lake, St. Louis.
Monday - Massage by Kristy - I actually had jitters after that one and urinated acid directly after, ouch. But felt much better by the end of the night.
Tuesday - Solo solid middle and upper body workout at Kirmayer. Commuted to work.
Wed - Solo Hill repeats x 10 at 91st street in Blue River. Beautiful day, did it on the road bike. It took me 6 repeats to warm up, felt ok for the first 6, good times, good HR, but on the 7th, i broke through and big ringed 4 in a row, popping up to above 190. So basically, i recovered from Sunday by wed night. Flatted on the ride home.
Thur - Solo mtb ride out to Swope, but hooked up with Duff and Travis to rip out a 30 min LT interval. Rode back with Duff, he told me to relax and not take things so serious. I agreed.
Fri - Rested, went to FF with bandmates.
Sat Morn - 1 hour active recovery trolley trail ride mtb. Then drove into St. Louis for a wedding party Sat. night, with bike for Spanish Lake next day. Stayed at a ghetto Red Roof Inn, but had Annika and Shadow, which made me super happy. Had a great sleep, 8 hrs solid.
