Last week was a bit of a disappointment. I was signed up to do a time trial on Saturday, February 28, but didn’t race due to the weather. I woke up at 5AM and it was cold and raining. The radar showed that it would continue to rain so I went back to bed. I got up at 8:30 and rode inside on the trainer. The weather on Sunday was about the same and I was not too motivated so I took the day off. The end result was a fairly light week.
Reviewing the week I think I am a bit burned out. I have been going fairly hard in most of the workouts over the last few weeks. I think I need a break from training so this week I will ride a little easier and see how I feel.
Looking Ahead
I’ve done a fair amount of riding so far this year and I think it has gotten to me a bit. There has been a lot of indoor training and that can be mentally taxing. I am looking forward to the return of daylight savings time so I can get back outside during the week. I will go a bit easier this week, and maybe next week then see if I can get back into a more intense routine the 2nd half of March. I am ahead of where I was last year at this time so taking a week or two “off” won’t be a big deal. I will probably do a time trial in April and May so I want to keep my fitness up. But right now I think I need to back off a bit and recharge the batteries. I want to make sure I continue to enjoy riding. We’ll see how I feel after this week and go from there.
