Week #5 - 573 miles
January - 1876 miles
I had a fun week in Phoenix training with the MUOR guys. After having a 7 day period of riding 675 miles, my legs and whole body, are tired. I also ended up driving 3,227 miles, which included Texas, then over to Arizona. I might actually be more tired from driving than the riding. My right hip flexor got really sore driving home today. We got to ride on some cool roads including up Humbolt Mnt., Crown King, and Mnt. Ord. I also did a solo day where I rode out to Horseshoe Reservoir. I would say the only downside was we had to ride on pavement quite a bit. Actually two of the rides where all asphalt. This is real early in my prepping for DKXL, but it gives me a bunch of confidence in my training and knowing that my body can handle a big block of training to prepare for an ultra event. This coming week will be all about recovery. I have already got in a couple easy days and Monday will also be the same. My next race isn't until the end of March, so that gives me lots of time to rest up and get a couple big more blocks to training in.
