Returned from work last night. Getting up at 3am that day made for a long one which in turn made for a traditionally fatigued wakeup today. Quite often, even though 9 hours of sleep was achieved, after a long 20hour last day, no matter how well I sleep, normally I wake up still tired. The reason to take note of such a thing is that having a long workout due the next morning requires an awful lot of motivation to get it done. Today was a day like this.
Managed to get my new training tire on the rear wheel and make it on to the rollers by 9am. The abductor is still a little sore on the rollers, but it is showing signs of improvement. However, the true struggle was remaining on the rollers! Due to the slight fatigue still being felt, concentration was not the strongest. If you lose that concentration or become distracted, allowing your core to relax, the next thing you find is your bike wondering towards the edge of the barrel. This seem to occur numerous times today and was not helped by watching the Man U vs Arsenal game on TV (a good match).
Even with all those distractions, 30 miles came around reasonably quickly and I managed to complete the workout. The abductor is sore right now. Some ice and rolling is needed to recover it a little. That is the next order of the day.
Tomorrow starts week 4 already. Time seems to be flying by. Concern remains over my abductor and I feel that a doctor visit may well be fast approaching. Lets hope it doesn't come to that.
Good luck to us all!
