Continued the Tuesday double, which was probably an error -- cracked on the last hill on the group ride that night. I was also feeling like I had a minor head cold, I could blame that as well, I suppose. I felt a bit run-down all week, so I'm going to take some extra rest this week; Monday is a rest day, I slept in, and tomorrow I'm just going to do the regular group ride, i.e., no extra morning workout, so more sleep.Sunday's long ride was good, but my increased fatigue is reflected in the scores for the ride, down 10 from last week, the rest of the week was similar, legs felt more sore.
I've started stretching, 3 x sun salutations each morning, either after getting off the trainer, or just waking up. I can touch the floor again!
I've been putting some thought into what I'm doing after this season end (coming up quickly with the Tour de Hans on Sept 30), the first item will be 4 weeks of unstructured exercise (aka "2x swim, occasional running with the dog"). After that, it's pretty fuzzy, but will definitely feature a winter run focus (a la BarryP/Desert Dude challenge). Other considerations are ramping up for a "serious" shot at the Iron distance in 2014 ("serious" being sub-10), and the Canadian 226 late next year.
