47 Days Before Event

Small setback today, woke up this morning and as I got up I pulled or tore a muscle in my upper back into my neck. Going to the doc later today to find out for sure. I need to start stretching more when I get home!

Update:

Torn up a little more than I initially thought, but hopefully it will only slow me down for a week or so. Strict doctors orders to rest, (sure I can figure out how to do that....) and I have an appointment tomorrow with a Sports Medicine doctor. Hoping they can get me back on the bike faster than anyone else. So the next weeks training will be on the excercise bike upstairs in the gym. First time I have ever seen an advantage to a bike with a seatback.

I will update all, but my plan is to be back on the bike and back to training by the beginning of next week. I most definelty will still be riding!

48 Days before Event

Today was another great ride, it was VERY hot however. The heat is getting really bad, but after all it is July. Did another 40 today, and had a great trip up the hills. This was by far the best set of hills I have had yet, was actually suprised when I got to the end because I did not realize I was that close. Short update today, I am tired and am going to take a nap! P7080003
