Just the second time this year I failed to break 900 miles for the month, and my lowest climbing total for a single month by a good couple thousand feet. Also the least amount of saddle time. After the physical collapse during the first week of the month, I can genuinely say I'm still recovering. I had a couple of decent rides afterward, but have been largely relegated to modest Z2 efforts 3x a week, full-on Z1 cruises the other 2, and a mandatory 2 rest days, no riding. I had a grand total of 1 ride of 80% intensity for the month.
I messed myself up pretty good, y'all.
My prescription is more intensity, less smellin the roses.
As a guy once told me... you ride at 18 mph all the time you get real good at that. He also told me.. I NEVER want to hear you on my wheel. Be out in the wind; you get no training affect being on someones wheel.
