Workout Of The Day for Friday, 11/13…
Thank god it’s Friday!
I hope you’re as ready for the weekend as I am…
…well, as I hope I am.
I’ve been ducking what I sincerely hope isn’t the flu for the last day or so, and I think I’ve managed to avoid getting it full-force.
I think.
Anyways…
This looks to be a pretty crazy weekend almost everywhere, and folks are going to be racing on Saturday, Sunday, both days, neither day… who the heck knows. I sure don’t so I’m going to hit you with a couple of options…
If you’re Only racing tomorrow (Saturday,) your workout for today is – you guessed it – Can Openers.
Or maybe The RSWO.
You can read all about these here:

You might also think about doing one of these if you are racing both Saturday and Sunday if…
– You are in really good form – kickin’ ass and takin’ names,
– or –
– You care more about the race on Saturday than the one on Sunday.
If you aren’t in storming good form…
…care more about Sunday than Saturday,
…just want to have a good race one of the two days…
…or don’t really care, just want to have fun…
Take it easy today.
Go out and cruise around on your bike for an hour or two. No hard efforts. See the sights, smell the flowers. One tiny little notch above a Recovery Spin.
If you are racing Only on Sunday, this might also be a good workout for you, or take it up just one more of those tiny little notches and go for a 1-2 hour moderate ride.
No hard efforts, no blasting for the town lines, just roll, baby.
You’re not doing a recovery ride, so you’re going to want to put some pressure on the pedals, but you’re never going balls-out either.
When you get home from this ride, you should feel like you could-have and maybe should-have gone harder. In fact, that’s pretty much what you want to feel the whole ride – “Gee… I should be going just a little bit harder than this…”
Go as long as two hours if you’re in great form, shorter if you aren’t. 1 Hour is probably right on target for most folks.
Have fun!
