Strong Cycling Weekend

     I managed to  knock out some serious mileage this weekend on the bike.  Saturday I had a brick planed and rode 86 miles followed by a 30 min jaunt through the park.  The ride went well,  I did not have any serious nutrition problems nor did I get to uncomfortable.  Any time I began to feel uncomfortable in the aero position I happened upon a steep enough grade that I could pop up to climb.  Of course my work was on the trainer because I am sissy and dislike riding in the cold, I really should move to a warmer climate. 
     Sunday I had a long run planned; however my lovely wife  convinced me to go snowboarding instead.  After a hard day on the bike, I started feeling the riding pretty early in the afternoon but managed to finish the day somewhat strong.  On our second to last run I couldn't get my legs to listen so I was a little out of control... but no one was harmed, so I feel it was ok to be on the edge.  I probably would not have made it back to the car, but a lady broke her leg getting off of the lift we were on so I was given a 20 min break as we dangled in the chair to recoup.  Similar to a power nap.  I managed to ride to the parking lot safely.
     In addition to that I had Monday off from work so I was going to try to make up my run and squeeze in the daily events as well.  After completing so core work I decided that if I tried to run I would not get in my scheduled ride and I would continually be trying to make up workouts and exhausting myself through out the week.  I decide to blow off the run and jump on the bike instead. 
     Since I had a heavy lower body weekend, I kept my spinning at a low intensity and concentrated on a higher cadence.  After three episodes of Dr. Who I was ready to call it a day.  I didn't have the computrainer on, but I averaged 22mph for 2.5 hours so I estimated I rode 55 or so miles.   Lets just say that my glutes and hammies are burning today.
    I have a mild run scheduled tonight so I hope that allows me to stretch out the legs a little.
