tough stretch

i had a client visit the past three days - 15 hour, 11 hour and 9.5 hour days with them entirely has me feeling pretty beat today. but, it was a very successful result and i think that they came away happy with our lab/team. if you have to have tough stretches, its good to at least have a good outcome. as a result of the visit, i've taken three straight zeros in terms of training but i'm ok with that too.

i did the great dane crit on sunday (35+ 4/5). my goal was to get the legs moving - i initiated one break away and lead for a couple of laps, tucked in for a few and didn't do a great job of positioning in the finish. i managed a top 10 and was gaining rapidly on the next 5 spots ahead of me - just ran out of real estate. my goals were met: stay safe and get a good hard effort so mission accomplished. saturday, i had gotten a solid 2 hours on a mix of my road bike and single speed. a mix because i got a flat a couple miles into the ride. it was a slow leak, so i got home and switched and then headed back out.

m: 1:15 (rode to work, got a ride home, ran at night)
t: 1:10 (bike commute)
w: 0:45 (run)
r: 0
f: 1:00 (trainer)
s: 2:00 (gravel grind)
n: 2:00 (great dane criterium)
total: 8:10

i rode in this morning. somehow, even though it wasn't supposed to be raining i got rained on. oh well, felt good to ride.

happy thursday.
