First Full Week Back (Week 4)
On Sunday, I tested and bought a new bike, but it was without the cyclometer, so that mileage doesn’t count.
I started back on my 3:1 25% Training Schedule. Since I’ve been off the bike almost three months since the crash, I decided to pick up the training schedule at the very beginning–week 1.
This week was scheduled for five 10-mile weekdays and one 16.67-mile Saturday. Somehow, the rain stayed away just enough for me to accomplish my mission.
My feeling? It’s good to be back on the bike. By the time I’m pulling 150+ mile weeks, the days will be longer and, perhaps, rainy season will be reliably over. I was surprised at how much of my speed I still have.
