Lessons learned
September 24th, 2009
Overtrained and overraced.
So, the last two races were pretty miserable. Thankfully I had great teammates to pull me through. Lessons learned: don’t race at 100% plus, have completely debilitating lower body cramps (curled up on the side of the road - see the Odyssey One Day write up), throw your back out a few days later, take Percocet and Flexiril and think that is an adequate recovery and taper for a race 2 weeks after the blow up race!
Did I mention how lucky I am to have the teammates I have!
