Two Wheel Blogs

Or perhaps I am still paying back for the wonderful ride I enjoyed on Wednesday? I vaguely recall that ride (Wednesday) outside, sprinting with dogs, enjoying the sounds of spring, shorts...generally the things I enjoy most about cycling.

Yesterday was a nice ride, but it was a bit rough. Loosing the hour of sleep last night and waking up to a cold rain pretty much decided my ride plans for today. Indoors, watching some good garbage on TV and spooling away for some good moderate intensity base miles.

I really can not complain. I got to watch Survivorman (a show about some survivalist that allows himself to be dropped off in some harsh environment and he survives with the help of his camera crew and safety crew). I guess watching a guy try and survive in the desert without water was not a great choice after all.

I had plans to go much longer than I did. I was actually ramping up the intensity quite well and not suffering too bad when my gut locked up. I guess something I ate is revolting...and it launched its attack suddenly. Ambush style tactics are effective!

I am happy though, I got in some good training and managed a bit over an hour prior to the illness. I guess I can recover the rest of the day and hopefully feel better soon....I figure I am due for a great ride and I want to be ready!
