Explody

We interrupt your regularly scheduled Roth tracking to bring you this update.

Back on the bike again today. A solid session, but unfortunately I committed the classic returning to training mistake. Training according to my expectations, rather than how my body was telling me to train. Yesterday's session had gone so well that I went out this morning looking for more of the same. Instead the session went something like

My heart rate is high but I think I will be okay
My heart rate is high but I think I will be okay
My heart rate is high but I thi KABOOM!!!!

The last 30 minutes I found myself in a very deep hole and really only capable of spinning back home. I am just lucky I had a tail wind for that part. In the end the average speed for the session ended up similar to yesterday, but that is really only because the route I took was an easier one. The average power ended up being quite a bit lower. Still a session is a session and I am just happy that I managed to get out on the road.

I will admit though that leading into this session I did make one of my wussier decisions. This morning was similar to yesterday in that it was about 3 degrees or so. Rather than head out in the freezing cold I actually left my ride until about 10:00am until it was a balmy 12 degrees or so. Wussy it might have been, but I was warm so I am standing by it.

More training tomorrow. Some of it might even include some running. But for now, back to Roth.
