AM Brick

Got out this morning at 5 am for my Thursday brick. I normally do this workout after work but I have to travel today. Thought the workout might be a little easier since my body wouldn't be so tired after a long day at work, boy was I wrong. First I had to shake the groginess off. Headed out on my usual route that starts with a climb 10 minutes in. Yesterday I roasted the climb, in the saddle the whole time. Today I was out of it and pushing hard. I loosened up midway through but my legs were def feeling it, right down to my bones. HR was in the high 130s for most of the ride.

The run was much different. My legs provided a solid base and besides some lingering muscle pain, I was moving. HR was in the high 150s into the low 160s but I didn't feel like I was overworking.

With my race on Saturday, I'm hoping my bike legs come around for the hilly Griskus course. It's not a priority race but I'm hoping to improve on last year's time. Long run tomorrow followed by an hour bike and then it's race day. I know my legs are just trying to shake off last weekend and this week's weight work.
