not much to report..

  1. Wednesday was an off day....recovery day....I did the foam roller at night. Much needed day off.
  2. Thursday...25min hard spin on lifecycle at YMCA...high heart rate big gear low RPM. Then 25min of some good hard core work.
  3. Friday 25 min on the treadmill.....2(x) 5' hard run at 15% incline....trying to simulate hard running effort of a CX race.
  4. Saturday. day off....did some foam roller at night.
Well I feel like I had a very good hard high intensity work out week. I was 171.8 on the scale on Thursday......down from 174 a week prior, so that is good too. I basically cut out the late night snacks and cut my daily meal portions a bit. I actually went and bought a power aid zero after my workout on Friday (I know...hammer would have been a much better choice but....) I just was realizing that I was not consuming anything other than coffee, water, and milk for fluids since stopping my long road rides 5 weeks ago. Not sure If I really need the Heed with such short HIT work outs. There was CX race only a bit over an hour away from me today. I wanted to do it but the weather was nasty rainy today.....but that's what CX is all about right? I feel like wuss for not doing it....how can I call myself a crosser if I bag on a race due to some rain? Oh well.....I had a good day at home with the kids so not going to dwell on it. Will work out hard tomorrow!
