PM: 2:40 (38.8 miles) on the fat bike. HR 149.

Muddy in places. Roads were quite rough in places. Legs felt dead, so I will have some work to do this week getting them ready to roll next Saturday. Not sure if I am excited or just over it. It will be fun to race again.

I think I settled on an ultra for the first week in June. 5-mile flat loop course. I think that is more my speed for now.

Off.

First day off from riding or running or both 55 days. I guess I've restablished some sort of routine. Kind of an off day. Just anxious and the workload is really increasing. I guess we aren't getting a nanny this semester, and I am really not sure how I am going to get all my work done.

Cold and windy. First day in gloves and a hat. I don't think I have run in gloves and a hat since we moved but I cannot recall. Leaves are still quite nice.

PM: 35' on the trainer (Bird -3). 172W. HR 142.

Short, higher intensity workout. 2 (5 x 1' On/Off).

Headed to Traverse City for Iceman this afternoon. Haven't sleep super great the last two nights. The boys are in a minor sleep regression, mostly waking around 1:30 or so and just not able to settle down of an hour or more. Minor groaning and grumbling. Not sure if it is teeth coming in that we can't see or what.

Iceman 2021

First race of any kind in 2 years. Iceman 2019 was my last. Rode my guts out. I had no idea I could ride at that high a heart rate for that long. Gorgeous weather and the course was much drier than 2019. A good bit of sand, but decent lines were established. Course was very fast. I was right at 13MPH on the fatbike. Most of the team guys were 15-16 MPH on hardtails and full suspensions. The pros did 20MPH.
