Morning,
I wanted to give everyone a short heads up on how I am going to be spending my week on and off the bike in preparation for World’s in Canmore, Alberta. Just got back from a 90 minute class in the Cliff Lodge Spa that was all foam rollers and tennis balls. Various myofascial release type exercises that were GREAT. Sort of like the poor man’s massage. I travel with a foam roller and tennis balls all the time, but never have done a class like this.
Off to work at the demo now, all the US dealers arrived yesterday, so it’s round two of all the presentations and demos. Going into this next week I have to follow coaches orders for my training. This is what he says: “deep recovery and regeneration week. Make sure your legs are flushed and loose all week long.” Stretching, hot tub, working on logistics for Canmore including gear orders, car rentals, shop appearances, etc. I take care of the travel and logistics for me and my whole crew so it’s a big job to get everyone there, get the gear coordinated and make sure everything is as organized, seamless and as stress free as possible. I will ride this week, but very short rides with some sharp efforts to keep the legs firing. At this point, I’m just topping off the tank and staying as loose and healthy as possible.
I thought I would leave you with a funny video I found of how cyclists train indoors. In all seriousness, I probably spend less time on my trainer than those in harsher climates, but nevertheless rollers are always entertaining.
Cheers
Reba
