Clipped in
As the alarm sounds beside my bed I roll towards the music and flick the switch. 4:10am looks directly at me...a smile runs across my face as I lift my head off the pillow. Here we go again I think, lets go. I turn on my espresso machine and crack a couple eggs into a pan before I get in the shower.
Within 25min I'm cruising on my bike. The wind in my ear and the morning sun creeping across the sky. Keeping my heart rate low, I adjust myself on my bike seat. Months of riding has 'prepared' my butt for my saddle and by now it only bugs me after those really long rides. Only really the sit bones I'm talking about, not the other parts of the glut, like my glut medius which seem to talk to me a little bit during some other rides...Ok, lets pick up the pace here, a sub 60min tempo ride is all I have time for before I have to be at work.
Before I know it, I'm home, I've stretched, I've eaten and I'm heading back out the door to work. Training customers at 6am and loving every minute of it!
Mid day, a little bike specific workout...some hip stability, low back, core and hamstrings. Feels great! A couple more hours of training and that's it. With a sandwich in one hand and some fruit in the other I get into my car with some renewed energy.
It's cleared up and the afternoon sun is begging for another ride. Within the hour I'm walking out of my apartment and getting ready...ready to get 'clipped in'
Every day seems to be an adventure. Time is on fast forward and before we know it, we will be knee deep in our H2V Canada ride.
Just typing it out gives me shivers!
