Man, where did April go? Between my ankle injury, a business trip and some really snotty (cold and windy) weather, I had the worst training month since last summer. I'd hoped to do over 1,000 miles in April and barely cracked 700. In one two week period I only rode twice. The good news is- the ankle is healed and I'm riding again. Today I decided to crank my "basic training ride" up to 55 miles and plan to increase it to 60 miles in three weeks.
The time is really starting to melt away for me and I am apprehensive about the ride. I still get the heebie-jeebies when I think about the mileage we'll be doing. I am trying to get a longer mileage ride in at least once a week and did 70 miles (solo- which I think makes a big physical and psychological difference) last Saturday.
The weather is finally warming up and I will be riding in more and more high temps. Good time to begin seeing if cramping is going to be a factor- not an issue so far.
