Since I didn't get a ride on Tuesday, I decided I'd add a few kilometres to the end of today's ride. It's easier to add them then, rather than in the middle. So I ended up at 75km for the day, in about 2:15. I didn't feel like I was dominating the bike quite like I was last week, but things went well. Just like before I tossed in 3x8-10 minutes at a hard effort and that tapped into my stores pretty well.
A quick note on the day after trigger point therapy: Ow. The tenderness may be part of why I didn't feel like I was quite so strong, but I think it will help clear things out. It seems like a useful practice, especially when you finally hit one of the tender spots. You'll be rolling .. rolling ... it feels kind of nice, then you turn the foot slightly and find that problem spot, and OW! You know when you get it. I found the point in my soleus that was causing the issue, and it felt good today (although other parts of the calves were sore from being worked), so hopefully tomorrow I'll be good to get in a quick run.
Bike: 135 minutes, ~75 km
