Got out of the car at the airport (I was driving) and my left leg was half asleep. Walked around a bit and headed home. Stopped 2/3 of the way home and did it again. I have had a hitch in my left hip for a couple years; just never bad enough to go to the chiropractor. Now might be the time. I’ll start with stretching the hips though. Stretching in general. I might even get a stationary bike, to use daily. My riding buddy, Alan, rides specifically for circulation in his legs

My body battery was 50 this morning.
I’m normally in bed by 9:15 with a 4:30 wake up, last night I was up until nearly 12 trying to get the fork on the soloist wrapped. It was a huge pain in the balls and I ended up giving up- just couldn’t get it lined up right.
We also went to our trainer last night for upper body. Set weight for bench is up to my body weight now, which I guess is good. Was a pretty solid workout where we ended on alternating waves on the battling ropes, 30s on, 30s off for 4 sets. My number of waves were 125,115,112 and 110. Not shabby.
Tonight is lower, moving up to 200 set weight for deadlifts, will do backward lunges with 50 in each hand and who knows what else.
Tried a threshold ride and just didn’t have the juice to do it. Then lost interest in continuing on with a recovery workout.
Tried the wrap again this morning and got the first piece down and bubble free in 15 minutes, clearly it wasn’t my night last night.
Verbal diarrhea over…

Here's the Alto Velo A Ride route from yesterday.
A pretty fun route to the coast and back, but not fun at the pace they go.

I’m blaming the cold, at least in part, for the hip flareup. We’re having record cold temperatures. This morning was the first time, in our 16 years in Yucatán, that we had the heater on in the car. Now we know it works

My training readiness is still at 1 and my HRV is at 32…..
I don’t want to know how long it will take me to recover when I am y’all’s age.

Looked at your map of the ride. That's quite a ride! 50 years ago or so, I used to ride Tunitas Creek on my motorcycle. It was pretty much just wilderness with a few scattered houses near the ocean. On the map I saw "the bike hut" and wondered what that was.

But I missed out on zero things in the '70s worth one ounce of regret.
Oh noes, I never used a punch card computer. Terrible!
There's a zero-tolerance policy here against fussing about the moderators. In this case I say we extend the prohibition to our friendly robo-moderator. Two weeks in the slammer.
History will prove me correct.
Define.
