While no one would probably get down on me for my early season enthusiasm this year, I have to admit I over-cooked it and have had to be mostly horizontal with back spasms for the last 4 days. I did a nice hour long single speed coaster ride in the Sunny Hollow/Camp Johnson zone. It’s pretty good early season terrain, not too much mud, not too many long or steep climbs…great trails. That seemed like a good pace, then I went out on the roadie on Thursday and put in a good 2 hours with lots of 1/2 mile and shorter climbs and just had a great time. My back felt weak by the time I was stretching at home, still seemed like no big deal…until Friday morning when I didn’t get up. Doh! Made it through work ok, but had to miss our end of season party/ride day at Stowe. Bitch.
Well anyway, I was lucky that it was the weekend, and I was able to mostly just chill, watch some flicks and listen to a bunch of new music. It’s so hard to sit still, damn, when you put so much in during the week to get that one day of free time on the weekend….doh! I’m over it. Monday is a whole new ballgame.
Trying to finally wrap this house thing I’ve been trying to pull together since January. That will be resolved Weds. AM. Stay tuned.
