This week was considerably less in terms of training time or intensity, and it was planned that way. I rode easy Tuesday, Saturday, and Sunday. On Thursday I got in a little more intense 20 mile ride. My goal is to be as prepared as possible for the Six Gap Century this coming week. I have spent lots of time the past few months doing fairly intense rides. I can’t improve my fitness any more in the week or two before the ride but I can make sure I am as rested as possible and ready to go. I feel pretty good coming into the final few days.
The Coming Week
I have 5 days until the century. My plan is to ride easy this week, concentrate on getting enough rest and eating well. I will also be seeing the massage therapist to have my ankle and legs worked on. This should help make sure that I don’t suffer any effects from my on again/off again ankle tendinitis. I haven’t been to the CMT in a few weeks so I am looking forward to it. I rode an easy 10 miles tonight and will ride a decent paced 16-20 miles on Thursday. On Saturday I will “take my bike for a walk” by doing an easy spin around the neighborhood with my wife. That will be just enough to keep the legs loose. On Sunday I will take the first few miles a little easy i order to get warmed up properly then, if I feel good and the weather is cooperative, I plan on setting a decent pace for the rest of the century. Hopefully everything goes as planned.
