I missed Friday's blog since I started out at work early in the morning for a ride with some of the BRCM guys. We had a good 30 miler and I had a pretty good outing despite having raced the night before. The race was tough but ended up ending early due to a crash, so I definitely had a lot of legs left. It was nice to be able to push hard again, so the food I've been eating is coming through in my performance. I still want to work toward 145, but I just am taking a break given I don't like suffering too much on our rides.
I rested on Saturday, ate like crap, but then had a good outing on my solo ride down to Del Mar yesterday where I met my family to hang out at the beach. The weather conditions were ideal, so I was able to PR and hit a 21.5 average. I passed a bunch of people and not one latched on or tried to mix it up. I felt good all the way down and didn't even suffer too much leg wear by the time I finished where I was still able to play with the kids.
This morning, I made my way into the gym and got my chest worked out. 5 exercises done and then I hit my core also. My chest workout was light and I even substituted presses with push ups. It was a pretty decent workout and my focus again was speed.
For lunch today, I hope to get a run in to keep this cross training up. I think Madison and I were going to try and PR our hilly lunch route, so we'll have to see how that goes.
Simply by stepping within the bands and keeping the handles in your hand you can bend how the waist keeping ones legs straight and perform good mornings to your lower back or just bend at the knees for most traditional deadlift workouts. Both provide a very good core workout.
