windy
a nice weekend in eau claire but i am ready to be home for a weekend or two. friday i got out for my 65 mile loop but added a wrinkle - i decided to do everything in my 53 up front. my hope is that it added some leg strength. for sure it made me suffer and by the end i was bonking pretty good (i forgot to bring food along). i managed to average 17.1 mph including big ring climbs of zwettler, pinnacle, blue mounds and cty f.
saturday robin got out in the eau claire area for a 1.5 hour ride together. this is something we don't get to do very often and i rather enjoyed it. we toured the northside and near west side and found a neighborhood we really like along the way.
easter was great for cal but that kid is a monster when he sees candy. we really restrict sugar consumption in our family and sometimes i wonder if the negatives outweigh the positives.
anyway, last week was a very good block of training:
m: 1:40 (commute)
t: 2:30 (commute)
w: 0 (sick)
r: 2:15 (commute, sick but f it)
f: 3:45 (hilly road ride)
s: 1:30 (road ride in EC)
n: 0
total: 11:40
that is pretty damn good with two zeros. between allergies and colds i've been feeling under the weather the past couple days. i had planned on something easy today but opted instead for a second day off to try and kick this cold. i'm pretty happy with my training thus far in 2012 considering last year at this time i was really still feeling the effects of my first ever trip to the er in an ambulance:
that is what i get for using my face (instead of helmet) to break my fall on the pavement.
happy monday.
