Since most of you are interested in my musings on all things training and racing, I thought I would start a regular post discussing my previous week's efforts both preparing and performing, successes and failures and how I think I got there. Lot's of stuff goes through my head guiding my decisions on volume and intensity for any particular block. Perhaps writing my thought processes here will give others insight that could help their own progress.

I finished the 25 hour, 8-day endurance fest with a long drive over two days. I was not able to get on the bike for either of those days so last Monday and Tuesday were a bust for miles. Wednesday I decided to hit with all guns blazing. My Restwise score was 90 which indicated I was good to go.
