Skippy went easy on me this morning. We met at Highland and Santa Rosa at 6:00 AM. I rode from Shell. Levi no-showed (again!). We rolled Turri. Ben slowed down when it was apparent I wasn't going to take his bait. Then we had a good ole time talking and praying. After Turri loop we climbed Prefumo and then descended into See Canyon and then split there in Avila, each heading home. He waited in all the standard places. My odo showed 52. Skippy must have had close to the same.I had cramps for the first time today. . . not those cramps. . . leg cramps. Never had them before. I'm guessing its some lack in my diet of late. Jens or Coach, have any thoughts?
I'm frustrated at how quickly I've lost my groove. Off the road most of July and half of August, but its not like I wasn't riding. Pretty consistent and hard mountain through July. A week of no cardio during moving madness and then a week of running at Hume. And yet, its like I've never ridden 50 miles before? What's up with that? Kinda got me depressed. Any thoughts?
So, the Lighthouse C. is on the horizon for me. I've got a long way to go, but Doc says he's going to get me there.

Keep you head in it and don't let it get you down. Highs and lows are always there especially fitness. If you were not seeing the results when you were very consistent then you would have time for the dissapointment. You have had a great development year. Even at 40 you stud! They will continue to compound and step up in strength even though your recovery is now on the fade cycle like the rest of us 40 and up folks.
Was it the calves or quads? Bet it was the calves. Diet, dehyd., and simply going hard...
