Subject: RE: 2.25.17 Super Dee Duper Saturday! Sigh--You are where I should be on the bike. I had gotten up to about 1:45 of harder riding and a nearly 4 hour ride at camp. Now I think I will have to start all over. Made it through some easy workouts here. Clearly getting better, but I am not going to be able to get back to normal training instantaneously--both asthma issues and lost fitness. Asthma really complicates any type of cold/flu virus--being sick and coughing vastly ups the hypersensitivity that is at the root of it, so it just goes on and on and requires all sorts of meds to control it. Normally I'll only have issues (and use a rescue inhaler ) if the pollution is really high (field burning is my nemesis ), or I'm exposed to certain kinds of mold or pollen for a long time or when training at high intensity. But if I'm sick, EVERYTHING sets me off. Ugh.
AM: 40-minute easy trainer ride
Noonish: 1600m (30 minutes ) of easy swimming--mix of free, stroke, pull, and kick
About to head out and attempt an easy run. Not sure how it will go--outside is more problematic.
