Learning Curve

Today I failed.

I have been doing turbo sessions to try and boost my muscular endurance. Yesterday I was feeling a bit icky so I didn't do my recovery ride. Today I felt a bit better so climbed on the bike and started but from the word go felt odd and it was far harder than it should have been based on last week's attempt.

So I got to the point where I couldn't turn the pedals and crawled off, ashamed. I had only done half.

Rob said he was disappointed. Not because I'd stopped but because I'd got on the bike in the first place. Your health is everything. Without it, no amount of training is going to make you faster.

So now I'm in bed, laptop on, well, lap. I'm doing some PhD work today and will chill for 48 hours before even going near the pedals again. And if I ain't right, I ain't bikin'!

So have I learnt my lesson? Well I want to be a pro so I need to act like one. I'm eating right, dressing right and I've got to treat my body right.

Here endeth the lesson.
