Re: Short Track Before A Race

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?
