Subject: RE: I'm Freaking Out! Like was mentioned before, fit and lack of fitness, plus some 1st ride of the season considerations. But let's be clear, trrainer ride does not equal outside ride. All conjecture here, but I'm always really sore 1st outside ride of the season because 1 ) you get real hills, 2 ) you push harder (even though you may not know it ), 3 ) there's wind and balance that comes into play, making you use the core, 4 ) the cool air outside cools you more than on a trainer, allowing you to push more, and in your case, 5 ) 90 min is a long ride for you (after checking your logs ), and 6 ) you probably had the 'new bike endorphin' thing working, masking some of how hard you were pushing. I wouldn't blame the massage...I would reserve judgment until after the fit and you get 10 or 20 outside rides in. |
