Yesterday was a big stressful work day–you don’t need to know the details. It was also a big stressful family day–again, no details needed.
But amid all the work and family stuff, it was also both personal training day and Zwift race day. In time, that’s one hour at 7 am and nearly two hours at 7 pm (race plus warm up and cool down).
The morning involved leg presses and walking lunges, shoulder presses and chest flies, and a bunch of other lifting too. The evening was a warm-up on the bike, followed by a TTT, which was two laps of Tick Tock. (I love Team Time Trials. See why at the end!)
So today I am a little bit sleepy and a little bit sore (but not in a bad way, more like I can tell I used my muscles way.)
Do I need a rest?
What does Strava say?
So Strava says yes.
And I feel like yes.
So today is definitely a rest day.
Here’s what a TTT looks like. This is the five of us starting off, all together but not yet in a nice line.
And I did choose this second image because I was happy with my watts climbing out of the tunnel! I don’t like hills but I enjoy short punchy climbs.
Right and if you’re interested in racing on Zwift, TTTs are a great place to start.
