Awesome Jess. Not sure if I want to move up after hearing that. 😀
I will admit I fell off the wagon a little last week. I ended up going to SouthPark and not Woodbridge (had to move my schedule around) and got slammed in the main, tweaked the shoulder. I used this as an excuse to do almost nothing last week, and even put some weight on (no joke).
I have had some trouble staying on a schedule. Partly due to work and the last 3 weeks due to a health situation with my father-in-law, but I have still kept going as best as I can. I raced Saturday at Flemington, and when I got home I did 20 short sprints. With the tweaked shouler, I had to go easy on the gate. I did notice I had gotten back to going too hard out of the gate (why else was I snapping everyone at SouthPark but getting pulled down the straight?) so the tweaked shoulder kind of helped “slow” me down, if that makes sense.
I took a good recovery ride on my mountain bike yesterday (a rather old Stumpjumper with no shocks, no clips, etc.) and a short one today. Also did 3×12 vertical leaps this morning, but need to rest cause I am racing tomorrow at EHT. I will almost use tomorrow like a practice night and work on gates, etc to prepare for state qualifiers later in the week.
