Mondays are usually tame and for good reason.
Recovering from a weekend of training takes a little bit of effort. Instead of
commuting to work as I would do I rode with my teammate Ron Williams afterwards.
A recovery ride is a gentle pedal down the street. The idea is to get the blood flowing
in the legs again so that the Lactic Acid and other toxics built up from the weekend can
be flushed away. Ron and I did pedaled the Monument Valley Park trail for an hour.
For some an hour of riding may be seen as a workout but it's easier than a evening walk.
Along with the easy bike ride I need to focus on hydration, nutrition, a massage and an
early bedtime.
