Today was not the ideal day by any means. Should have been an easy day to open up the legs, it ended up being much longer than I wanted due to a communication problem between myself and my Dad. In the end it was my own fault and my legs paid for it. I did however keep my average power under 200 watts so I figure that even if it was a bit long, at least I wasn't over taxing them.
Tested out the road race course, which seems to be fairly simple. Long false flat/climb heading up towards the finish, and then just a bunch of rolling terrain. As long as I don't have a horrible day, or do anything stupid, I should be able to hang on.
After eating and resting, we drove out to ride the 3.2 mile prologue course and test the time trial equiptment. The course is much hard than I expected, with a couple rather steep climbs. I couldn't believe how much climbing they fit into 3.2 miles. All in all I expect to do well, but I will have to endure a great amount of pain.
Tomorrow morning I will spin the legs out lightly for an hour or so, then eat and rest till its time to start warming up. I go off at 4:37:30 so I got lots of time to sit and dwell about it :)
For now, I'm sitting here compressing the legs and eating rice and a veggie stirfry that my dad cooked up. No pictures from today but hopefully some from tomorrow.
