So how does the first day back feel after not riding for 13 days straight? Not great, but way better than not riding for 14 days straight! This cold has been a whopper and really zapped my energy level.
Got out for a rolling 2:45:00 road ride at an aerobic pace today to shake loose the cobwebs. As expected, the heart rate was abnormally high for a given effort and the legs felt like water-logged tree trunks. Mentally I felt great though and I could have ridden much longer but I decided to see how I feel post ride and go from there.
If I had continued with high volume after the Kokopelli recon trip I would be in taper mode right now but at this point I am not quite sure how approach the next two weeks prior to KTR.
Ride hard for a week then take it ez? Glad your feeling better!
