Ride 5 - Recovery Time

Sometimes things just seem unexplainable to me. So, yesterday I rode 42 miles and came home kind of tired (due no doubt to my subpar current conditioning). Today, I get on the bike and my legs feel tired, but I ride exceedingly well and with good power. Sure, the ride was only 20 something recovery miles because I only had a bit more than an hour to ride, but I was kind of thinking I would feel worse. Each time I asked my legs for a bit more power they obliged me... go figure. In any case, it was a beautiful day and my legs and mind were both up to the task.

I guess the only thing that didn't pan out today was the performance, or lack thereof, from my Garmin 305. I gave the device a full charge the night before, but it wasn't able to answer the bell at go time. It better start behaving or I may have to go back to my Polar 725s which gives new meaning to erratic performance. Oh, who knows, it may have been not knowing what my measured performance from Garmin was that kept me focused and riding with an uncluttered mind. I don't know, but what I do know is "I like riding my bike and making a difference."
