Struggling For Pace
My legs have been sore since the triathlon volunteering on Sunday. Today is the first day I haven’t really felt like I was limping around all the time. I’m sure tuesday’s long ride and the runs on Monday and Wednesday didn’t help. I probably should have taken a day off.
My legs didn’t really hurt today until I started pedaling hard, then my right hamstring started to but a bit. As a result, I didn’t push very hard. Today I did a direct ride into work, covering 4.9 miles (I still think that’s a bit short, but pretty close) in 18:59, for an average speed of 16.1 mph. I’m aiming for averaging 19+ for the 10 mile ride during the triathlon. I don’t think that’s going to be a problem once I’m healed up.
The bike is badly in need of a tuneup, though. I may get a new rear wheel this weekend. I bent it pretty badly a while back, and though I took it to a shop to have it trued, it still came out a bit wobbly.
