Short track went ok, XC the next day, not so much. I completed the recovery steps you recommended after the ST.
In the XC race: high HR both max (new record high) and average, but poor power and speed. Almost ran out of gas before the end of the race. Riders I normally keep pace with had higher avg. speed than I did. Everybody did the ST.
I feel like the openers on days 4 and 5 in week 12 may be a little much for me? Calves were twitching after day 5 ride and into day 6.
Last race of the series is June 30. On which week should I resume the plan? Any recommended changes?
