running on alcohol

Futsukayoi! Hangover! It’s been a while!

Woke up with heavy legs yesterday. Decided on a rest day. Onsen and beer is always a good combination. Too much beer though. And I paid the price this morning….

Sometimes riding is the best hangover cure. Clear the head. Get the blood pumping. Sweat the alcohol out. Always feel better after a ride….

A Takayanagi loop. With the wind on my back, the climbing is easy. Chance to use a heavier gear. Enjoy the climbs.

The return leg is a strong headwind from Ishikawa dam. Get down low. TT mode. A 30 km TT.

The new position on the bike means it's easy to hold an aerodynamic position. Hands in the drops. Or forearms on the bars. 150+ HR. 90+ cadence. 38,39,40 kmph.

That's the kind of effort I want to make in Sunday's road race. GANBARIMASU!

Friday’s training: (75 km, 450 m climbing, 33 kmph)
