After watching everyone have a great time at the race in St. Cloud on Saturday, I felt like riding into work today. Even though I watched the weather last night and they expected rain later in the afternoon in the cities, I still thought it was a good idea.
The ride to work took a little longer than normal because I decided to take the SS which is geared 34/18 which is a little light for the road. It was nice for a change and the legs felt a little better after the ride.
After watching the radar on and off after lunch for a while I have conceded that I will either be getting very wet on the ride home, or having my lovely wife pick me up. I don't think I want to get wet while I am still getting over pneumonia and the tail end of a cold, so I think I will give Andrea a call.
Oh well! at least I got a little time in on the bike.

Day Off
No Training Today, I'm Tired and/or Lazy!
I did however get up with Andrea for about 15 minutes at 4:45 AM to put her HRM on her bike and wish her a good ride.
I was nice to get a little more sleep. I think I am still playing catch up from the poor sleep up at Maplelag, darm backhoe.

E1 (Active Recovery)
I have to get my act together and keep this updated!
It has been probably a month since I have posted on the training portion of my blog, which I consider more for me than anyone else. I need to do this so as I look back through the training I can see how I felt and use that information to plan. Anyway, rant to self over.
After a busy weekend up at Maplelag and less sleep than I would like the legs, and entire body, for that matter felt tired today. In anticipation for the Thursday night race at Hillside this week, I opted for an easy ride today to aid in the recovery process and set myself up for a good E2 ride Wednesday morning. The hope is that the legs will feel good by then and I will still have sufficient time to recover before the race on Thursday. No logging any data today, because I left my HR monitor in my bag in the locker room. In fact I had to take a detour home to get my helmet because I forgot that as well.
OK, to the ride. Not much happened. I rode home at a slow pace to get my helmet, talked to Andrea for 30 minutes while I scarfed down a yummy caramel roll brought home from Maplelag and rode back to work. I don't know how much better the legs feel, but my stomach is much happier now
Well must get back to work.

Day Off
It took us the better part of Monday morning to pack up our stuff and get ready for the trip back home
We left Maplelag at about noon and had to make a stop in Coon Rapids to pick up Maddie. We were on the road again by 5:15 PM and made it home by 7:00 PM. The rest of the night was taken up by unpacking and getting the girls set for school in the morning
Not much time for Biking, but that's OK Monday is almost always a day off.
