Well welcome back to Monday! With a beautiful weekend that I had, I'd figure that I'd be in a chipper mood, but alas, I am not. Saturday spend 5 hours working on the Moon Lake Mountain Bike trails, which was fun, but a great way to get ooohhh sooo sore! Add on the fact that after I finished up, I went back to pre-ride the section that we bench cut, and ended up crashing out, so big ouch! it wasn't too bad, just added to my soreness!
Then Sunday I finally got to race a mountain bike race, and it was a blast...up until my back tire went completely flat! I made it 3.8 miles into a 6-7 mile loop before I DNF'd, but noticed that my rear tire was going flat about a mile into it. I was having a great time and was catching the two guys in front of me (everyone started at 2 minute intervals) until riding got very hard and a little dangerous. But it was great fun bombing the corners and jumping over logs and hills, it made me feel like a kid again. But after DNFing, I was kinda pissed off, since I was riding well and having a good time. When I got home, I ended up pulling a bunch of thorns from both front and back tires, and resulted in a tire with the consistency of Swiss cheese. Guess my tires are a little old! But other than that, it wasn't too bad, just nice and sore today!
My stats for this last week:
SWIM: Nada, again. Going to start in mid-November when I find out if I have to move to Texas or not
BIKE: 17 Miles (out of 27 planned) Not bad, but wasted Sunday and that 70* Sunny weather!
RUN: 14 Miles (out of 37 planned) Taking too much time off, but legs are feeling better, so should still hit my 100 mile month goal
Plan for next week:
SWIM: 0
BIKE: 0
RUN: 38 (but will be happy with 30-ish)
I'll be planning next year out this week, so I'll get a post in with my tentative race schedule and goals for 2014. Hope you all have a good week!
