A Tough Day at the Office
Ok... I am having the anerobic block I thought as I panted in agony. After a good 40 min with some hills on the way to Massenutten for a warm up I punched it as hard as I could but I couldn't breath. I mean I could breath fast but I wasn't getting the O2? My legs allso felt like beached jelly fish. I suppose it didn't help that it was dumping cold rain as soon as I got a block away from my house.
I got in 3 ALL OUT efforts of 1:30 -2 mins and then I realized it wasn't happening. I gave it my best effort! I was riding in heavy cold rain and I just felt defeated but I said no way I'm giving up I will at least get in the tempo. I was about to bail on the ride and scurry home with my tail between my legs but I thought I would just ride some fun trails. I thought maybe I just need a bit of build before going for broke.
I Think it is just the thing I needed. I got the engine fired up a little and had a good time buzzing thru the rocky trails on the side of the mountain. The wet branches slaped my arms as I sped thru the snaking tracks. I even cracked a smile that would be seen only by a deer or two.
I pushed a solid pace for the 9 miles back home to stay warm. I was met by a nice surprise. Erin gave me a gift wraped box, in it was a big cozy bath robe and a hot cup of tea!
Not too bad after all.
See ya at the races.
Jeremiah.
