Saturday - 30 fairly fast miles with five other cyclists from Michael's Cycles in Chaska, with some hills. Kayaked around Fish Lake, then walked the 4 miles around Cleary Lake to loosen up.
Sunday - walked the 4 miles around Cleary Lake, mixing in some jogging and running to begin to get the running muscles used to working again. Then rain, rain, rain.
Monday (Memorial Day) - Rode a moist 55 miles on the Dakota Trail - wet pavement, lots of spray, some sprinkles and lots of sweat. Not many others on the trail today, so good sailing. Shoveled and dug out rocks for fire pit on our beach.
Tues - Rode 29 miles with Joel, St. Joseph to Albany and back. Pushed it hard going but did not reset my computer, so don't know the speed. Coming back, averaged 17.9 mph without any wind assistance.
Wed - Rest. Did room exercises in the morning, increasing to 15 pushups and 15 situps for the 5 rotations.
Thurs - Rode 10+ miles in nasty wind with Joel, then another 21 with the group for a total of 31. Did my room exercises in the morning.
Friday - Rest. Did my room exercises in the morning, finishing with 40 pushups instead of the usual 15 - the first time i have done that many in a row since training for climbing Mt. McKinley in 1977.
Saturday - I plan to ride 50-60 miles with Rick (the guy who will ride the Race Across America starting June 20) leaving from the Michael's Cycles store in Chaska. It should be a good training ride!
Goal: 80-100 miles during the week, plus whatever on the weekend
Total week miles: 115 during week plus the Saturday 30 miles, Weekly goal achieved. On track.
