I write this in case I find myself with amnesia after being struck down by a manure truck on the roads south of 5&20. Of course if I do have amnesia remembering how to log into this blog will be lost in the fog as well. I've learned a few pearls of wisdom about myself that I need to keep reminding myself.
1) Taking a day off the bike, means the first 20 minutes the next will be extremely difficult. Its actually better to actively rest by riding, nothing hard of course. I look forward to the warm weather when that ride can be a stroll down to the ice cream shop.
2) As I get older, I need to drink more. Seems like my recent calf cramps are due to being dehydrated. I'm still looking for the hole which leaking, but until I locate the problem, I better start drinking more...water that is.
Today's ride was a real bore. The pace was not that exciting and my biggest problem was my legs kept cramping, started about 10 minutes from home, so I knew it wasn't a fitness thing, but most likely a dehydration thing. Don't get me wrong, I'd rather ride outside with a bunch of cyclist than ride alone inside for 4 hours, but today seemed a tad stale.
3) That vaseline stuff called Born is really good on the face when it gets cold out. Today I didn't feel the normal burn on my face.
4) Don't stay out till midnight and expect you best the next day.
