Unfortunately I came down with a cold this week so I decided to take a few days and not do any extra training rides. I was able to keep commuting everyday so my goal of riding "almost" everyday continues. I don't want to say I will ride everyday this year because you never know what will come up and some days the ride probably just won't happen and I am fine with that.
I did spend the last 3 days on Zwift and got some good miles in. Saturday I spent almost 5.5 hours, 80 miles and 12K feet of climbing. I did Alpe du Zwift 3 times and it was hard: 55:59, 59:50 & 72:55. That last climb was really hard and my legs were just dead. My heart rate kept dropping and I couldn't produce any watts = bonking. Today I rode 3.5 hours for 82 miles and my legs felt recovered. This is a good sign.
Hopefully the snow will melt this week so I can get out on the gravel for a few rides. On January 26th is my first race and it is going to hurt. It should be a fun time with the team though.
