Subject: RE: Garmin-Chipotle Team ThreadI missed a stage and may need to pull out of the challenge if I am not ready to ride by tomorrow. I have pulled a butt muscle and have been sitting around for 3 days trying to get it to heal. Today does feel somewhat better, so I'm hoping to be ready to go by Monday if I just rest. I was going to try a short easy run today, but I think I'm going to hold off since I did wake up slightly better this morning. Don't need to re-injure what has just healed. But, if I can't start riding again on Monday, I will need to pull out of the challenge because there is no way I could make up two stages before the end. I'm trying to be very careful and diligent about healing because I have a race on August 3rd. I would like to get this last week of training in before my taper week, but I don't want a painful jabbing in my arse while doing it... so I might have a two week taper instead. |
