No exercise today. My calf is still jacked up a bit from yesterday's mishap with "those" shoes. I've been thinking about it some more and there also might be a link between the yoga I did Saturday night and injury. I hate to even call it an injury. It's more like just a strained muscle. Injuries are serious. I'm just hurt.
Yoga and stretching are two things I never do. Every time I start a Yoga or stretching program I get hurt. So what the hell was I thinking when I did it Saturday night??? Well I've changed my position on the bike to a more aggressive one. I think my position last season, although comfortable, sucked aerodynamically. I flattened out my back a bit, and it has caused a little discomfort in my right hip. I've had to play with my seat height a little, and I think that'll help. There's just an adaption period that I'll have to go through.
With that said, I'll work a little on my hip flexibility, but nothing serious. I think my body will adapt to the bike over a bit of time and with some more long rides thrown in. Stretching, for me, is not a good thing. I'm not stiff as a board, and given my history of getting hurt when I do it, it'll be something I forgo in the future.
This is our new blog detailing our daily adventures, mountain bike racing, endurance sports, and maybe even some cooking (that's Anne's domain!). We will share our experiences with life, training, and most importantly, being a team-both in marriage and in our sport.
