Well actually that's not completely true. While I do feel quite lean, I actually feel the exact opposite of mean.
It's one of those "what a difference a day makes" kind of things.
Because I was so tired yesterday I was worried about overtraining again, and so I decided this morning to be very careful with my bike ride. I simply chose a relatively easy workout, and did it on the trainer. It was not even taxing.
But the real lean feeling didn't come til I headed out for my 5K transition run. I felt excellent! Every km was faster than the previous one, but regardless of time, it was the fact that I felt almost rested that put me on a high. I felt like a 50 year old!! In hindsight, I probably should have rode harder.
But no worries. Better safe than sorry, and I hope it's a positive sign that I'm finding the right balance. I should be able to smoke my hills tomorrow! We shall see.
And I'm hoping for a decent day for my next long ride on Saturday, but it doesn't look very hopeful. In that regard its been a totally shitty spring. I have not had a long ride outside yet without gloves! I'm not sure at this point what I'll do if it's cold and rainy as they predict, but one thing's for certain. NOT doing it, is NOT an option.
