As you can probably tell, my last few posts have been a little pessimistic. It's a product of having some consecutive bad workouts (stressed, tired, unmotivated) and the end of a 3 week build period. I try to build from 12-15 hours a week.
So, this week is my rest week and I've decided to totally chill out on the training regimen and recharge the batteries. Yelena and I are going skiing both days this weekend and spending the night in Aspen on Saturday night. That will be nice. Tele-skiing is a bit like hitting the gym. There's not a whole lot of aerobic, but after even a short run the legs are on fire. Of course, it probably wouldn't hurt as much if I didn't get so low in the turns, but hey thats the fun of it!
My riding this week will/has consisted of going to work and back which is about 45min round trip. I was feeling really good on the way home, so I did a short indoor workout on the bike and it felt good. I also switched off from watching cycling videos to watching world superbike videos. You can get the same type of workout experience (watching speed, competition events) without having to deal with constantly being bombarded by cycling (which I self-inflict every day surfing the internet.). So, yeah, take this week off, recharge, then fire up the engine for some march madness.
