Just an Average SKIRT

Where have I been this week? If anyone is wondering, I’ve been sleeping. Catching up on rest, work and being a lazy SOB. I didn’t realize how much I needed this recovery until I started to recover.

Hit the elliptical Monday (not gaining any fitness there) for 40 minutes, soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much easier than pool running. Hit power max class Monday night at BCSM for a tough class but it’s so much easier when you don’t ride 3 hours before hand which is what I usually do. Tuesday I took off because I had a taxing day in my practice and according to my stress manager I needed to rest in order to prepare to my LT Thursday. Wednesday rest and hydration in prep for my test today.

10am, the Optimize Endurance mobile testing unit arrived at our house. This thing is not only awesome in size but this testing center is dialed in like nothing I’ve ever seen. It was incredibly convenient, I can’t say that enough. Just rolled my bike out of the house and into the truck for my LT. I haven’t had an LT for 2 years so I was due. That’s me in my the 08 Skirt cycling line; sexy back tank and vogue shorts. Super comfy and more technical than previous lines, love them. Thanks Nicole.

In my test results, I found a slight change in my zones, for the better, I will be more comfortable in these zones and further confirmation that I ride the higher ends of my zones. I need to spend more time in low Z2. I’ve gotten better over these past 3 seasons but there is alot of work to be done (isn’t there always?). I have seen improvement in some areas but still need to slow down to see optimal results. It is what it is. Good to get the lead out, I felt better today then I have all week. I felt very stagnant and frankly like crap for the past few days. Looking forward to a few days of yoga and then getting back into the groove.

For all you 9-5er’s out there…Optimize Endurance services is unbelievably convenient and perfect for lunch time LTs. I highly recommend Rob, he runs a clean ship, knows what he’s talking and is a cool dude to boot. What is more convenient then someone coming to you, if your tempted, try it - I highly recommend it.

Off to bed, more sleep, more sleep…loving the slumba!
