Day 3 soloflex Good dips again today. I might have shoulder mitigation sorted out: topical in the morning, shoulder specific active stretches, Venom in the evening.

I thought I could get 90 minutes in between the rains, which was about right for an out and back to Holland Landing. I packed my rain jacket just in case, so of course it got sunny enough in the last half hour that I could have used sun screen.
I returned via the trail, which was almost all dry and in really good shape. Just a couple of rutted spots. There weren’t many people on the trail, so it would have been a good day to shoot some drone footage. I haven’t quite decided how to transport it yet though.
I’ve been using air compression after rides for 10 days or so. It is a zone based air massage to get stuff out of the legs. My hope was that it would do a better job of getting blood back where it belongs than just elevating my legs.
It seems to do a really good job. My calves in particular feel about how they did the next morning after 30 minutes at compression level 4 (of 7).
