| bank. beautiful day, 60's 'n sunny |
| biking 45:00  | |
| |
| 5 x 1min intervals @ 100rpm, 2 min rest. rest is warmup, build up, build down etc. |
| biking 30:00  | |
| |
| 10 min rest, then grinding it up the gears, standing a bit at the end, and then cooling down |
Tuesday May 27 |
| biking 1:35:00  | |
| |
| trainer - warm up a couple of times, then ramp it up, 'climb' hard at the end, cool down. not continuous. trying to match the cadences of giro pros on mountain stage - realized i have never been turning it over that fast, but i'm not that far off. of course, the gear i'm in is different, but i just want to get the cadence right. |
| Note | |
| |
| not to beat this to death, but just in case this is helpful to anyone reading: I realized a lot of the discomfort i'm experiencing is not neccesarily the broken bone itself, but all kinds of tendons and muscles having to find new lengths to work at.
in other words, since the bone is offset and the lengths to points of attachment are now different, some tendons will have to stretch and others will have to shorten to work properly.
how does that process happen? the body just adjusts itself i guess? |

Thursday May 22 |

| Things are looking up, flu is on its way out, doctor said it was ok to ride stationary bike, and tommorow i'm picking up a trainer.
Bone is fairly offset, choice was 80% chance of solid healing on its own, or 95% with surgery, time frame about the same. I opted for the healing on its own route. |

| Cold finally caught up w/ me. Ha ha, this is getting bad. but whenever i start feeling sorry for myself, i think about people who have serious problems. This is what all the training is for, right? |

| midnight note on pain management - wine is the anti- aspirin? just had one glass,,,,,,,,,,,,couldnt sleep, like first night after crsh. then took aspirin and everything calmed down. not scientific since no control, and skipped aspergum to drink wine, and no desire to repeat. might have been that i started typing w right arm and desk pushed it upward - no more rite hand typing either. |

| noticed some clicking from vicinity of bone when doing crunches, bone? tendons? but did not hurt. hope i am not being too aggressive. oops, i see from the anatomy that the neck is anchored to the collarbone close to my break. guess i better cool it - hard to get up from lying dn. w/o engaging the neck tho? |

| walking 30:00 [1] | |

Saturday May 10 |
| bike kick 5:00 [3] | |
| |
| this is as good as its going to get: lie flat on back on bed w/ light covers on. do bike pedaling motion, scraping sheet on what would normally be bottom of stroke to provide resistance. anchor sheet w/ left hand. shoulder is braced against bed and as immobile as it would be moving around in other ways. this really works, thighs calves abs.
together w/ some squats, walking, other core and stretching might get mr thru 1st 2 weeks anyway. |

| errands. The checker was talking about the high price of gas. I pulled out my helmet, good conversation piece. She says she drives 1/2 hour on the interstate to get to this dumpy neighborhood Schnucks but there is another Schnucks 2 minutes from her house. Not only is that over an hour of her day spent driving, but in all likelyhood, 1 1/2 HOURS OF HER PAY EACH DAY ARE SPENT JUST ON GAS TO GET TO WORK. There's probably someone working at her neighborhood Schucks that commutes there from this neighborhood! |

| Lowes and back to buy a sheet of paneling to repair under kitchen sills.
Had them cut into sill height pieces, tied to bike rack w/ two inner tubes.
Didn't feel as wierd riding 4'-0" wide as I thought it would.

| biking 1:10:00  | |
| |
| rode to carondolet park, warmup laps, then the 'c' race was off, but unfortunately i wasn't, but thnkfully some teammates jumped in and kept me in the same lap (a very special team that would jump in for the lantern rouge), so at least i finished. Like speedwork for running, need to do more of these even if painful. And stay closer to the front. |

| ride from my house out to castlewood, st. paul - did 3 repeats of st. paul from the rr tracks to ridge @ long 5 min. Cassette on training wheel was missing shifts in 23, 25, so I had to go up everything in 12-21 which was kind of tough on the steepest sections.
Felt weak after that. Massive olive, cheese, pasta and white bean lunch at my fathers house. |

| |
| rode over to hill club ride in kirkwood, but had flat issues, so that kind of deflated my morning. managed to limp back to nursing home, then bus. |
| biking 45:00  | |
| |
| Decided to do another workout in view of my less-than-pumped up morning ride. 6 interval laps at Tues Nite course w/ rest lap in between @ 1:50 - 1:55. True, there was a fierce south wind that felt like a headwind from many different directions (???), but this still seems really slow. 'B' race lap times a few races back were 1:35. Oh well, got to start somewhere.
Score: Slimy thoughts 10 vs. God thoughts 11. Why do people sit in their cars in the park w/ the engine running and the windows open for at least twenty minutes????...oh, never mind. |
| Note | |
| |
| Walked the walk at the nursing home, BUT i've decided to streamline my log. Only going to log things that directly, positively further training for specific events, and just note things that effect peripheral conditioning and energy level.
Otherwise, things get muddled and its too easy to look at total training hours and think the job has been done. |
