Skinny #1 Racing

I guess I'm back to the world of training in zones 4 and 5, and what a rough world that is. Last night I went on the Gearworks ride, and right before we were about to leave I was somehow placed on the A ride...great. We started out climbing for about the first hour and fifteen minutes, and I was always at the front of the group, hanging in really well. We started out with seven and managed to get rid of two guys on the hills. After that we hit the flats and I hit the wall. Once we got rolling I just had such a hard time pushing that big gear and they completely wore me out. I ended up limping home struggling and hanging on as best I could. That wouldn't have been that bad if I didn't have four hours on the road bike today. The first two were OK but then the thorough whooping that I had recieved the night before began to take affect. From that ride, I have decided that I need to readjust the saddle on my road bike, it's so uncomfortable right now and I don't even want to begin to get into the specifics of why I want to change it.

Tomorrow I have a big golf date set up with my uncle. I haven't played with him in a long time so I'm really excited. I'll have the home course advantage as we'll be playing at Winchendon. He's getting old so we'll probably be playing from the whites, another advantage for me. 1o yards less on each hole doesn't seem like a lot but it certainly makes the difference on some holes. On #5, it's the difference between a good 3 iron and "easy" 3 wood. I don't carry a 5 wood so it makes that shot super hard from the blues. Well I've got water to drink, food to eat, stretching to do, all in hopes of recovering before my pyramid intervals in zone 5 tomorrow. Wish me luck.
