.Getting coached is on the radar, but not financially viable ATM. I may move in with my gf in 4-6months, which will cut down my rent expenses considerably. Maybe then.

The elbow x-rays were negative at the ER, but they were only looked at by the PA who stitched me up and I'm wondering if I should get them looked at by an ortho, because there's still a lot of deep soreness and bone bruise type feeling. On the other hand I'm not sure what I would do differently if it turned out there was some bone damage. Plus there's some internal shoulder damage on the other side that I didn't even notice until a few days ago when the more superficial stuff stopped hurting so much, and that shoulder is now the most disruptive of the injuries.

Ha, if anything I feel like I already owe him/her as I have taken more than a few WO ideas from you previously .

Just under two hours, out on the MUP and return by road. Ran into a Cat1 friend heading home from work who had the nicest commuter bike I've ever seen. Handmade custom steel frame, hydro discs, through axle rear, panniers, hammered fenders, generator, and Di2. I have a nice commuter bike, but damn.

Sort of openers. Like, the type of openers you do 4 days before a peak race. So whatever that is. I hope it means I get to eat nutella.

Yeah that probably would have been the better idea, but I work from home and sit in on conference calls and what not whilst riding

2x30' tempo later today. Got mildly frisky during the commute in this morning. My last Block of Darkness + VOGP seem to have kickstarted a bit of form for me. And that form is beckoning for me to bury myself over the next week for my last bit of pre-season tuning. Feeling optimistic about the condition I'll have for the big meat of the New England cyclocross season.

Active recovery day yesterday, so i took the cross bike out for the first time and linked up with some other cross folk. Initial thoughts ... "meh ...". I'll give it another whirl or two, but not certain we're destined for one another. I did enjoy riding on the singletrack en route to the ride though.

Rest week incoming. Going to go out for a spin with the wife later. At least one of you guys were hoping for an injury, looks like that's not going to happen
(unless I get hit or crash, which with my recent history may happen!).

I checked out a new group ride this morning. It required me getting up 10 minutes earlier but I really liked it. Longer efforts than my usual Tuesday group ride and less riders. I would like to try it at least once a month. https://www.strava.com/athletes/366617
Then I had time for some extra miles afterwards. It wasn't as stupid hot as it has been here.
