Summing up this week

Well, not the best week of training this week. I hate it when I really get into a groove of training and working out, and then I get sick. Trying to maintain a strict regimen of exercise when fighting a tough cold is very hard. I did manage to get a couple of quick, short rides in to spin the legs a little bit so that was good. But then yesterday I felt like I got run over by a Mack truck! I plan to take a weekend off and not do a long training ride to try and recover a little bit. Besides, it's Easter and that should be spent with the kids!

I think I am going to have to make a couple of adjustments on the bike. I have noticed that my hamstrings get incredibly tight after a ride so I bet my seat height needs to be tweaked. I'll let you know. I am probably not stretching enough either which doesn't help.

I also need to move my little tool kit. Right now it is under the saddle and has velcro straps that attach it to the seat post. Problem is the strap on one side sticks out a little bit and rubs my leg when I am pedaling. At first I thought this was not a big deal, but I have since developed a red spot on my leg from the rubbing. Not good. Hopefully not a hard fix, we'll see.
